Abstract: A method and system for transforming a first computer program having program statements to a second computer program. A parsed first computer program is translated to the second computer program. The first computer program includes a first program statement that includes a first error. The translating includes: (i) identifying a second program statement in the parsed first computer program that includes a second error and has thrown a translation exception with respect to the second error, (ii) rolling back the translating to a predefined check point prior to the second program statement in the parsed first computer program such that the predefined check point is associated with a statement in the parsed first computer program that was successfully translated, and (iii) generating an executable equivalent translation for the second statement. After the translating, a mapping of one or more statements is generated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture for program integration are provided herein.

Abstract: An example embodiment disclosed is a system for automated model extraction of documents containing flow diagrams. An extractor is configured to extract from the flow diagrams flow graphs. The extractor further extracts nodes and edges, and relational, geometric and textual features for the extracted nodes and edges. A classifier is configured to recognize process semantics based on the extracted nodes and edges, and the relational, geometric and textual features of the extracted nodes and edges. A process modeling language code is generated based on the recognized process semantics. Rules to recognize patterns in process diagrams may be determined using supervised learning and/or unsupervised learning. During supervised learning, an expert labels example flow diagrams so that a classifier can derive the classification rules. During unsupervised learning flow diagrams are clustered based on relational, geometric and textual features of nodes and edges.
