  • Publication number: 20150082215
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to create an operation process by executing a process. The process includes estimating, generating, and displaying. The estimating estimates trailing candidate nodes with respect to a node whose arrangement is definite, using at least one of a preset process definition, a type of node that is a manipulating target, and past creation logs of processes performed in past to create operation processes, when arranging a plurality of nodes on a screen and creating an operation process. The generating generates a display region in which a number of candidate nodes are displayed in an order, amongst the candidate nodes that are estimated. The displaying displays the display region that is generated at a position on the screen.
