MULTILAYERED, PROTOCOL-DOCUMENT-BASED SYSTEM FOR BATCH DATA ANALYSIS AUTOMATION

摘要

This invention provides a simple, flexible, and editable method of delegating work flow for automated batch data analysis in a multi-layer architecture of process engines and their associated protocol documents. The method employs inputting editable data analysis protocols into a processor, containing a generic process-engine, and combining these protocols to form fields, which specify batch work flow objects. By use of a user-processor interface, a user can then select the desired object, and thereby instruct the processor to run the protocols which make up that object.
