Patent number: 8527440Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods including retrieving a model including a plurality of objects and references between objects, receiving first user input indicating a set of first changes to the model, applying changes of the set of first changes to the model to provide a first modified model, receiving second user input indicating a set of second changes to the model, identifying a conflicting operation in the set of first changes to the set of second changes, applying one or more inverse operations to the first modified model to provide a second modified model, removing the conflicting operation from the set of first changes, defining a subset of first changes including the one or more changes after the conflicting operation, reconciling one or more changes to provide a reconciled subset of first changes, and defining an updated model.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventor: Thomas Hettel

Patent number: 8453127Abstract: According to some embodiments, a token synchronization gateway may be recognized in a graph-based business process model, such as a business process modeling notation model. A number of upstream artifacts located upstream from the token synchronization gateway may then be identified in the business process modeling notation model. In addition, a final artifact may be identified directly in front of the token synchronization gateway. The token synchronization gateway may then be compiled into code that will be executed at runtime to perform a synchronization process. The synchronization process may, for example, include handling tokens T1 through Tn to synchronize the upstream artifacts, with each token being associated with one of the n upstream artifacts.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Sören Balko, Thomas Hettel

Patent number: 8418178Abstract: A system may include a thread monitor that is arranged and configured to monitor progress of multiple threads of a workflow process at a synchronization point with each of the threads having a state, and configured to generate at least one inspection trigger for inspection of the threads. A thread inspector may inspect the threads at the synchronization point for a change in the state in any of the threads in response to the inspection trigger. A firing rules engine may determine whether or not the synchronization point should fire based at least in part on the change in the state of at least one of the threads.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2007Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Marlon G. Dumas, Alexander Grosskopf, Thomas Hettel, Moe T. Wynn

Patent number: 7584163Abstract: A method to analyze impact of changes to a model includes accessing a proposed change to a model. An expression that is relevant to the proposed change is accessed. An instances set associated the expression is obtained. The instance set is evaluated to determine an impact of the proposed change to the model. An application utilizes the expression of a model. An impact analyzer assesses impact of a change to the model by evaluating at least one of the one or more expressions and returning an evaluation set for use by the application.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2006Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: SAP AGInventors: Michael Altenhofen, Thomas Hettel
