Abstract
A system and associated method for hierarchically decomposing a workflow graph G into a process structure tree PST. The workflow graph G is a two-terminal graph parsed into a tree T having triconnected components. Boundary pairs of all triconnected components in T are computed and fragments are discovered with boundary pairs. T is restructured into PST pursuant to categories of triconnected components in T. PST is deterministic and modular. PST represents a block-based process model that has fine blocks of execution units. PST is computed in time linear to the number of edges in G.
