METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENFORCEMENT OF BEHAVIOR OF APPLICATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS WITHOUT MODIFYING APPLICATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and apparatus for changing the behavior of a target application processing system is disclosed. The target application processing systems (13) include at least one information model (12) including one or more actions defining a process flow having an expected behavior. A second database (16) defines a plurality of other actions wherein each of the actions has a selected behavior associated with the action. Upon selection of one of the actions from the second database (16), execution of the selected action produces a behavior associated with the action to change the process flow of the target application processing system in accordance with a newly defined behavior.
