Abstract: A method to analyze impact of changes to a model includes accessing a proposed change to a model. An expression that is relevant to the proposed change is accessed. An instances set associated the expression is obtained. The instance set is evaluated to determine an impact of the proposed change to the model. An application utilizes the expression of a model. An impact analyzer assesses impact of a change to the model by evaluating at least one of the one or more expressions and returning an evaluation set for use by the application.

Abstract: A system may include a thread monitor that is arranged and configured to monitor progress of multiple threads of a workflow process at a synchronization point with each of the threads having a state, and configured to generate at least one inspection trigger for inspection of the threads. A thread inspector may inspect the threads at the synchronization point for a change in the state in any of the threads in response to the inspection trigger. A firing rules engine may determine whether or not the synchronization point should fire based at least in part on the change in the state of at least one of the threads.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a token synchronization gateway may be recognized in a graph-based business process model, such as a business process modeling notation model. A number of upstream artifacts located upstream from the token synchronization gateway may then be identified in the business process modeling notation model. In addition, a final artifact may be identified directly in front of the token synchronization gateway. The token synchronization gateway may then be compiled into code that will be executed at runtime to perform a synchronization process. The synchronization process may, for example, include handling tokens T1 through Tn to synchronize the upstream artifacts, with each token being associated with one of the n upstream artifacts.
