Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to selective change propagation techniques for supporting partial roundtrips in model-to-model transformations. In certain example embodiments, enablement checking is performed to determine whether a propagation operation can be performed for an object. If the object passes enablement checking, the propagation is executed by, for example, creating the object(s) in a business-oriented (e.g., EPC) model; updating relevant internal attributes of technical (e.g., BPMN) objects that allow for the successful merge; optionally correcting user-introduced errors in the technical model; and properly connecting the pulled-up objects with their surroundings. The connecting is performed so that the objects advantageously appear as if the current business-oriented model was used for the merge. According to certain example embodiments, the connecting may be deterministic, e.g., such that the result will be the same regardless of order or sequence in which the propagations are made.
