Abstract

A system generates a model of a workflow. The system begins by displaying on a computer screen a first flowgraph between two horizontal time lines representing two respective participants. The first flowgraph comprises a plurality of vertical directional line segments extending between the two horizontal time lines and representing respective communications or other actions between the participants. Next, the computer receives a selection of a second flowgraph for display between one of the two time lines and a third, horizontal time line representing a third participant. The second flowgraph comprises a plurality of vertical directional line segments extending between the one time line and the third horizontal time line and representing respective communications or other actions between the participants represented by the one and third time lines. Then, the computer displays the second flowgraph between the one and third time lines. The computer also generates a verbal description of communications or other actions represented by vertical line segments that lead to or from each time line.
