Abstract

See full text

A previously-computed scope definition represented as at least one begin-end node pair is obtained. 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. A change to the process model relative to the previously-computed scope definition is identified. A type of tooling environment used to change the process model is determined. The tooling environment includes one of a fully-integrated tooling environment and a componentized tool chain tooling environment. The previously-computed scope definition is adapted into an updated process 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.
