Stardust Code-base of SunGard Infinity Process Platform under Eclipse Public

License Industry-proven, mature Business Process Management Suite

o Workflowo System Integrationo Document Management

Production deployments e.g. witho > 10,000 users (Commerzbank, former Dresdner Bank)o > 1,000,000 processes/day (CSS Insurance, SWIFT)o > 300,000 documents/day (VAR Japan)

Ranked #2 in Vision in Gartner MQ for BPMS in 2007 ~3 Mio LOC, > 200 3rd party libraries, matured to Release status

SimulationSpecify arrival rates for processes (e.g. trades over time)

Specify availabilities

Specify traversal probabilities

Specify duration probabilities

• Resource workload• Critical pathes• Simulation results can be copied e.g. into MS Excel or written to process database

Fast, in-memory algorithm runs thousands of processes in seconds

ProductiveAudit Trail Database

Simulation parameters can be retrieved from produtcive audit trail.

SimulationAudit Trail Database

Simulation results can be written to simulation audit trail database.

Simulation run´ID can be used to filter reports and build sequences of what if-reports.

Simulation results can be used in audit trail reports as regular audit trail content.

Simulation can be used to create test data for reports
