Abstract:
1. A method for generating a BPEL4WS (Business Process Execution Language for Web Services) executable workflow code from an unstructured cyclic business process model, said method comprising: inputting a graphic representation of said business process model using a graphical modeling language, assigning a continuation semantics to said graphical representation, said assigning comprising: encoding said continuation semantics of said graphical representation as a preliminary workflow code of a BPEL4WS process in a computational tree, said encoding comprising: normalizing cyclic links to form a non-cyclic graph of a BPEL4WS workflow code, corresponding to said preliminary workflow code; said normalizing comprising any of: outputting said BPEL4WS workflow code to a BPEL engine for execution.
