A method for transforming data structures includes processing a portion of a source data structure (SDS) with a first processing resource by associating the first processing resource with a target data structure (TDS) key element located in a key position of a queue, determining whether the queue includes an SDS node element corresponding to the key position, processing the SDS node element responsive to determining that the queue includes the SDS node element corresponding to the key position, wherein the processing the SDS node element comprises retrieving the SDS node element from the queue, processing the retrieved SDS node element to generate a resultant TDS node element, outputting the resultant TDS node element to an empty key position in the queue, and mapping the resultant TDS node element to the TDS.

Mapping data structures

A system for managing values associated with properties of elements within a process model can include a storage element for storing the process model and a processing element. The processing element can be configured to identify within the process model an element, to identify an object containing the element, to assign a value for a property of the element, and to retrieve the value for the property of element. The value for property of the element can be stored in location selected from one among an element modifier applied to the element, an object modifier applied to the object, a default set of values for the object, and a default set of values for the element, where the location for storing the value of the property of the element is selected such that the location has a higher relative priority than a location for storing a previous value for the property of the element.

Modifier management within process models

A technique for annotating and synchronizing on a device is provided. A client root model of fragments is marked with annotations in response to triggers received by an application of the device. Marking the client root model of the fragments with annotations includes at least: in response to the any of the fragments being extracted out and flagged, marking the client root model with annotations; in response to binding any of the fragments to a source, marking the client root model of the fragments with annotations and marking the client root model as flagged; and in response to sharing in any the of fragments, marking the client root model with annotations.

Containment agnostic, N-ary roots leveraged model synchronization

Systems and methods for conversion and importation of models that describe system behavior into a UML meta model-based representation, include parsing through the textual model for the plurality of elements, searching for an element semantic definition, element view definitions corresponding to a semantic definition, or an element view containing diagram definition within the textual model for each of the plurality of elements, generating element reference nodes for placement on an internally constructed custom tree, attaching a listener to each of the element reference nodes, wherein the listener is configured to await population of the element reference node with an equivalent unified modeling language semantic element, wherein a listener awaiting population is an awaiting sequenced listener, completing an inheritance hierarchy between the element reference nodes up to a parent node inferred from the diagramming definitions and resolving awaiting sequenced listeners that are made aware of an awaited unified modeling language value.
