Abstract
Workflows stored in a workflow database are annotated, each of the workflows including an ordered sequence of steps. Sub-workflows are extracted from the workflows by splitting the workflows into sub-workflows at annotations that exist between the steps, a first of the sub-workflows including the respective annotation as an output of the first of the sub-workflows, a second of the sub-workflows including the respective annotation as an input to the second of the sub-workflows. Annotations in common between the sub-workflows are identified, including identifying beginning sub-workflows that include the respective annotation as an output and identifying ending sub-workflows that include the respective annotation as an input. The sub-workflows are recombined into new workflows by splicing together the sub-workflows at the annotations in common, such that each new workflow is formed from one of the beginning sub-workflows followed by one of the ending sub-workflows.
