Abstract
A method for invoking a procedure by a first network node in a computer system comprising the first network node and a second network node is provided. The method includes detecting a gesture or a user interaction event contacting a plurality of locations on a screen space of the first network node, obtaining an identification of a workflow procedure in dependence upon an interpretation of the gesture, the workflow procedure having an input parameter, mapping locations, included in the plurality of locations contacted by the gesture, to the location of the graphical object on the screen space, to obtain, from a data set, an identification of corresponding information associated with the graphical object, obtaining an identification of the input parameter of the identified workflow procedure in dependence upon the identified corresponding information, and invoking the identified workflow procedure according to the identified input parameter.
