  • Patent number: 10248923
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes approaches for generating an information model of a business process. One example is a method comprising receiving an input of an identifier, wherein the identifier corresponds to a node in a network; recursively tracing data packets in the network, wherein the identifier is utilized as a seed for the tracing; and generating an information model of the business process based on the data packets. In further examples, the recursively tracing data packets in the network comprises: identifying, based on the identifier, data packets transferred between the node and one or more nodes; retrieving, from the data packets, one or more identifiers corresponding to the one or more nodes; and identifying, based on the one or more identifiers, additional data packets transferred between the one or more nodes and one or more additional nodes.
