  • analyzing the workflow to define an operating range for the workflow;

    defining the operating range as a plurality of operating steps and a sequence thereof;

    defining at least a respective possible next action for an action generated from each of the operating steps;

    defining an information structure having information associated with the action and the at least a respective possible next action;

    defining a condition for an execution of the at least a respective possible next action;

    defining an input and an output for the at least a respective possible next action;

    defining a procedure required by the at least a respective possible next action;

    defining an execution result for the at least a respective possible next action after the execution thereof;

    establishing a transitional action pattern based on the defined operating range for the workflow, the plurality of operating steps, the sequence thereof, the at least a respective possible next action, the information structure, the condition for the execution of the at least a respective possible next action, the input, the output, the procedure and the execution result; and
