Abstract
A computer-implemented method executed using a first networked computer and comprising: receiving a digitally stored workflow pattern that specifies at least an input data source, a data transformation process, and an output data destination, the workflow pattern comprising a structured plurality of name declarations and value specifications that are human readable and machine readable, the data transformation process specified in the workflow pattern including one or more references to processing logic, a processing logic source outside the workflow pattern at which the processing logic is stored, and one or more available process engines that are capable of processing the processing logic; machine parsing the workflow pattern and dividing the workflow pattern into a plurality of execution units, each execution unit being associated with a particular process engine among the one or more available process engines; accessing the input data source specified in the workflow pattern and loading at least a portion of data from the input data source into main memory; accessing the processing logic source at a second networked computer and loading a copy of the processing logic specified …
