Abstract
A method and system for reconstructing an original process model that includes an inclusive decision into a reconstructed process model that includes synchronized branches. The inclusive decision is replaced with a fork. Each original path of the inclusive decision is reconstructed into a corresponding reconstructed path. Each reconstructed path includes a decision, an activity included in the corresponding original path, and a merge. The decision includes a first output connected to the activity, whose output is connected to a first input of the merge. The decision further includes a second output connected to a second input of the merge. A join is created to recombine output branches from the merge node and other merge nodes included in reconstructed paths. The output branches are synchronized so that all activated reconstructed paths must finish processing before a modeling element connected to an output of the join is executed.
