ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the field of integration of applications that are executed by computer systems. In an additional focus, the current invention improves the integration of applications within workflow management systems. The basic approach of the invention to this problem are the features of input container materialization programs and output container dematerialization programs. The materialization programs are executed for an input container before the input container is passed to a process activity. The purpose of the materialization programs is to perform materialization of the input container by retrieving its data members' contents from arbitrary storage areas and/or by manipulating the data-member's contents. The de-materialization programs are executed after a process activity completed execution, and their purpose is to perform de-materialization of the output container by manipulating its data-members' contents and/or storing its data members' contents to arbitrary storage areas.
