ABSTRACT:
Conversion from a graphical representation to a structural, text-based representation of a business process. A method and system identifies shared nodes in the graphical representation having more than one incoming control connection. Segmenting a graph based on the initial graphical representation based on the location of the shared nodes. Converting each segment of the graph to a set of corresponding segment-based structural, text-based representations. Creating a resultant structural text-based representation comprising the set of corresponding representations in which each of the segment-based representations is defined to potentially execute concurrently. Generating synchronization elements in the resultant representation defined with reference to the incoming control connections of the previously identified shared nodes, while maintaining the semantics of the initial graphical representation in the resultant structural text-based representation.
