Abstract
A system and method for automatically generating a data flow diagram in response to a first diagram. The first diagram may specify one or more states and one or more state transitions, wherein each state transition specifies a transition from a first state to a second state. A data flow diagram may be automatically generated from the first diagram.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a first diagram, wherein the first diagram specifies one or more states and one or more transitions between the states, wherein the first diagram specifies first functionality;
- automatically generating a data flow diagram based on the first diagram, wherein the data flow diagram comprises a plurality of nodes and connections between the nodes, wherein at least a subset of the connections indicate that data produced by one node is used by another node, and wherein the data flow diagram specifies the first functionality;
- and
- storing the data flow diagram in a memory medium;
- wherein the data flow diagram is executable by a processor to perform the first functionality.
2 more elements
A memory medium comprising program instructions executable to:
- receive a first diagram, wherein the first diagram specifies one or more states and one or more transitions between the states, wherein the first diagram specifies first functionality;
- automatically generate a data flow diagram based on the first diagram, wherein the data flow diagram comprises a plurality of nodes and connections between the nodes, wherein at least a subset of the connections indicate that data produced by one node is used by another node, and wherein the data flow diagram specifies the first functionality;
- and
- store the data flow diagram in the memory medium.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory medium coupled to the processor, wherein the memory medium comprises program instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive a first diagram, wherein the first diagram specifies one or more states and one or more transitions between the states, wherein the first diagram specifies first functionality;
- automatically generate a data flow diagram based on the first diagram, wherein the data flow diagram comprises a plurality of nodes and connections between the nodes, wherein at least a subset of the connections indicate that data produced by one node is used by another node, and wherein the data flow diagram specifies the first functionality;
- and
- store the data flow diagram in the memory medium.
