Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for the computer-aided determination of the dependencies of a plurality of modules of a technical system, especially of a software system. Every module of the system has a known, first consumption of resources. The first consumption of resources of at least one of the modules is modified according to a predetermined criterion, thereby obtaining a modified system. The modified system is executed. A second consumption of resources is measured for every module of the modified system, the consumption resulting from the modification of the first consumption of resources of the at least one module. An analysis of the second consumption of resources of a respective module and the predetermined criterion is used to determine whether there is a dependency between the respective module and the at least one module that is characterized by the modified consumption of resources.

Abstract: In a method and a system for transforming an object model by executing a transformation workflow consisting of transformation step instances (TSI), the transformation workflow is automatically generated on the basis of transformation artifacts (TA) produced or used as inputs by transformation step instances (TSI) derived from pre-defined transformation step templates (TST).

Abstract: A method is disclosed. In at least one embodiment of the method, firstly, the process as described by a process definition is analysed such that those control sequence dependencies are discovered which are not supported by the data stream, the control sequences contained in the process are transformed in a first step into a corresponding Petri network and, in a second step, the Petri network is analysed. Secondly, the process is then reconstructed without the discovered redundant or unnecessary control sequence dependencies and an optimum process definition generated. Excess dependencies are thus automatically discovered and removed by way of at least one embodiment of the invention, in order to achieve, for example, an increased parallelisation or compatibility of partial processes.
