Generation of job flow objects in federated areas from data structure

This invention describes a system that takes a spreadsheet containing data and formulas, and automatically figures out the steps needed to perform an analysis. It identifies how different parts of the data and formulas relate to each other, determines the correct order for these steps, and then creates a visual map (like a flowchart) of the entire process. This map shows the sequence of tasks and their connections, making complex data analyses easier to understand and manage.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced AI could easily interpret complex spreadsheet logic and infer data dependencies. Modern LLMs could significantly simplify the core task of automatically generating workflow definitions from spreadsheet formulae.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, data parsing, visualization engine.
