Abstract

See full text

A task manager for providing personal organization, project management, and process automation capabilities. The task manager maintains a hierarchical list of tasks for an individual. For each task, notes can be kept, priorities set, and progress tracked. Also, subsets of the task hierarchy can be shared. Every task in the task manager belongs to a class, and each class includes pre-defined automatic actions and manual actions. The pre-defined automatic actions are automatically executed by the task manager when the task is being worked on. The manual actions aid in task execution because the relevant operations (that is, the manual actions) are available when the task is being worked on. The task manager communicates with agents, tools, and process engines via a message system. The agents, tools, and process engine may receive task information from the task manager and may also remotely control the task manager.
