Abstract

The present invention comprises apparatus and systems for measuring, monitoring, tracking and simulating enterprise communications and processes. A central message repository or database is constructed, comprised of monitoring messages sent from process messaging systems. The database may then be accessed or queried as desired. A simulation tool assists in reviewing present and proposed processes and sub-processes before modifying existent systems or creating new systems.

28. A computerized method for simulating processes in asynchronous messaging environment, comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one predetermined sub-process;
  
  assembling a process from said predetermined sub-process; and
  
  , simulating message flow through said process.
- View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
- - 29. The method of claim 28 wherein the step of providing at least one predetermined sub-process further comprises providing a predetermined toolkit of said predetermined sub-processes.
  - 30. The method of claim 28 wherein the step of providing at least one predetermined sub-process further comprises providing at least one industry specific sub-process.
  - 31. The method of claim 28 wherein the step of providing at least one predetermined sub-process further comprises providing means for creating additional sub-processes.
  - 32. The method of claim 31 wherein the step of providing means for creating additional sub-processes further comprises providing means for adding said additional sub-processes to said toolkit.
  - 33. The method of claim 28 wherein the step of simulating message flow through said process further comprises providing a time indicator for said sub-process.
  - 34. The method of claim 28 wherein the step of simulating message flow through said process further comprises providing a means for varying latency of said sub-process.

35. An apparatus for simulating processes in an asynchronous messaging environment, comprising the steps of:
- means for providing at least one predetermined sub-process;
  
  means for assembling a process from said predetermined sub-process; and
  
  , means for simulating message flow through said process.
- View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
- - 36. An apparatus as in claim 35 further comprising means for providing a predetermined toolkit of said predetermined sub-processes.
  - 37. An apparatus as in claim 35 further comprising means for providing at least one industry specific sub-process.
  - 38. An apparatus as in claim 35 further comprising means for creating additional sub-processes.
  - 39. An apparatus as in claim 38 further comprising means for adding said additional sub-processes to said toolkit.
  - 40. An apparatus as in claim 35 further comprising a time indicator means for said sub-process.
  - 41. An apparatus as in claim 35 further comprising means for varying latency of said sub-process.

42. A computerized method for simulating processes in an asynchronous messaging environment, comprising:
- establishing at least one sub-process which is comprised of at least one activity; and
  
  , establishing a process which is comprised of at least one sub-process.
