ABSTRACT:
A method for generating a workflow on a computer. Assessment data, e.g. defining a need, is obtained from a user. Based thereon, a workflow including a logical sequence of interdependent steps to be made is created using an assessment system. A number of workflow steps are presented to the user in a logical order, and results from the progress of one or more steps may be gathered. The workflow may be modified thereon, if needed, using sub-solutions, logic rules, inference rules and said results by adding and/or removing steps to/from said workflow based on a list of purposes and knowledge of the order in which some or all steps must be made. After modifying the workflow, the presentation thereof is started by the next or more unfinished steps which are not dependent on an unfinished step, thereby forming an adaptive procedure.
