Abstract
An input unit inputs specification description that includes a plurality of pieces of processing information each indicative of a processing performed by a design object and association information indicative of associations among the processing information. A node generating unit generates a node for each of the processing information. A link generating unit generates, based on the association information, a link that couples nodes generated by the node generating unit. A sub-chart generating unit configured to generate a plurality of sub-charts by dividing a chart indicating a content of the specification description, based on the node and the link. A function-module generating unit generates, for each of the sub-charts, a function module that executes a function based on the processing information corresponding to the node in the sub-chart and the association information corresponding to the link in the sub-chart.
