Abstract:
1. A method of linking executable processes to one another, the method comprising: providing a base control flow model that includes a plurality of components, at least some of the plurality of components including one or more data fields; providing an automation model that includes a plurality of blocks, each one of the plurality of blocks being associated with a partial subset of the base control flow model and including indication(s) of data field(s) associated with the respective partial subset of the base control flow model, wherein each block is also associated with multiple components of the base control flow model, wherein relationships are defined between the blocks for at least some of the indications of the data fields in the blocks of the automation model, wherein the automation model models the flow of data between the respective components associated with corresponding ones of the plurality of blocks; and responding to a request to transform the base control flow model to a transformed control flow model by, for each block in the automation model:
