Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: obtaining, via a processor, a previously-computed scope definition represented as at least one begin-end node pair, where the at least one begin-end node pair is usable to identify all nodes and interconnection path links that are reachable in a traversal from a begin node to an end node of each of the at least one begin-end node pair of a selection of a connected directed graphical representation of a process model; identifying at least one change to the process model relative to the previously-computed scope definition; determining a type of tooling environment used to change the process model, where the tooling environment comprises one of a fully-integrated tooling environment and a componentized tool chain tooling environment; and adapting, into an updated process scope definition, the previously-computed scope definition based upon the identified at least one change to the process model relative to the previously-computed scope definition and the determined type of tooling environment.
