Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method of extending a workflow. The system translates the workflow into a programming data structure, builds a model structure based on the programming data structure, collects extension instructions related to changing the workflow and orders the extension instructions according to dependencies among the extension instructions, and generates an extended workflow based on applying the extension instructions to the original workflow. In this manner, the system reduces the amount of manual effort in extending the workflow.
