Abstract

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with branch prediction in workflows are described. In one embodiment, a method includes inputting a workflow and serially progressing through the workflow in a flow sequence and in response to the flow sequence encountering a first decision element in the workflow that includes a plurality of branch paths: (i) executing a prediction that predicts a resulting path of the first decision element to predict a first user interface from the plurality of user interfaces that may be encountered subsequently in the flow sequence as part of a first terminal element; and (ii) pre-building the first user interface that is predicted prior to encountering the first terminal element. In response to the flow sequence reaching the first terminal element, displaying the pre-built first user interface on a display device.
