Method of generating an implementation of reusable parts from containers of a workflow process-model
First Claim
1. A data processing system implemented method of extending specifications of a process model within a workflow process environment, wherein said process model defines a process activity managed and executed by at least one data processing system and said process activity has associated with it an interface container implemented within a reusable parts environment, said method comprising the steps of:
- linking said process model with said reusable parts environment;
associating with said process model, an interface container reusable part, said interface container reusable part implementing said interface container and residing within said reusable parts environment; and
storing an interface container reusable part specification corresponding to said interface container reusable part within said process model such that said specifications of said process model are extended in response to said associating step.

Abstract
Method for automatically generating an implementation of input and output container reusable parts for a process model managed and executed by at least one computer system. The method of generating uses the specification of a process model extended by specifications associating the process model to a reusable part environment outside the workflow process environment and generates an implementation of said input and output containers as reusable parts residing within said reusable parts environment. The method of generating comprises an analysis of the specifications of said process model. Based on this analysis the method generates the associated input container reusable parts and associated output container reusable parts as implementations of said input and output containers.
