Abstract
A method, system, and article of manufacture are disclosed for transforming a definition of a process for delivering a service on a specified computing device. This service process definition is comprised of computer readable code. The method comprises the steps of expressing a given set of assumptions in a computer readable code; and transforming the definition by using a processing unit to apply the assumptions to the definition of the process to change the way in which the process operates. The definition of the process may be transformed by using factors relating to the specific context in or for which the definition is executed. Also, the definition may be transformed by identifying, in a flow diagram for the process, flows to which the assumptions apply, and applying program rewriting techniques to those identified flows.
