Abstract
A process definition is partitioned for execution in a system architecture that enables the communication and meta-orchestration of multiple distributed engines. The partitioning method creates separate scripts for each group (execution engine, computer, distributed computer, etc.) where each script has the same representation as the original control flow, but keeps local services and replaces remote services with data flow messages and synchronization points. This method ensures that the resulting process has the same result as the original process executed with a single engine. Additional advantages include: the number of partitions of the process is minimized to equal to the number of distributed engines; the communication between engines is minimized to only data flow messages; there is no dependency on a specific process representation such as BPMN; and reduced implementation complexity.
