Abstract

Certain example embodiments relate to techniques for executing business processes in a distributed computer system (e.g., cloud-based) environment. A representation of the business process is decomposed into executable components. The executable components each have assigned thereto process and sequence identifiers, and each is classified as having an executable component types. The executable component types including integration, task, and data flow types. The integration flow type represents activities to be performed in connection with external computer systems, the task flow type represents human-interactive activities, and the data flow type represents activities to be performed on data relevant to the business process. The executable components are deployed to nodes in the distributed computing environment such that the executable components are performed in sequence identifier order using processing resources of the respective nodes to which they are deployed, except executable components with the same sequence identifiers are performed in parallel on different nodes.
