Abstract: Harmonic functions $u:{mathbbR}^{n}o{mathbbR}^m$ are equivalent to integral manifolds of an exterior differential system with independence condition $(M,mathcalI,omega)$. To this system one associates the space of conservation laws $mathcalC$. They provide necessary conditions for $g:{mathbbS}^{n-1}oM$ to be the boundary of an integral submanifold. We show that in a local sense these conditions are also sufficient to guarantee the existence of an integral manifold with boundary $g({mathbbS}^{n-1})$. The proof uses standard linear elliptic theory to produce an integral manifold $G:D^{n}oM$ and the completeness of the space of conservation laws to show that this candidate has $g({mathbbS}^{n-1})$ as its boundary. As a corollary we obtain a new elementary proof of the characterization of boundaries of holomorphic disks in ${mathbbC}^m$ in the local case.
