Abstract

A system may include a composition engine that is configured to include a receiving engine that is configured to receive a series of states and transitions from an object lifecycle. The composition engine may include a computation engine that is configured to compute actions from the transitions and to compute preconditions and effects for the actions from the states. The composition engine may include a relations engine that is configured to compute relations between the actions and a parallel process engine that is configured to generate a parallel process fragment that includes at least two of the actions based on the relations between the actions.
