Systems and methods providing a token synchronization gateway for a graph-based business process model

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program code executable by a computer to perform a method, said method comprising:

• recognizing a token synchronization gateway in a graph-based business process model;
• identifying n upstream artifacts located upstream from the token synchronization gateway in the graph-based business process model;
• identifying a final artifact directly in front of the token synchronization gateway;
• and
• compiling the token synchronization gateway into code to be executed at runtime to perform a synchronization process, the synchronization process including:
• handling tokens T1 through Tn to synchronize the n upstream artifacts, each token being associated with one of the n upstream artifacts.

A system, comprising:

• an input to receive information associated with a graph-based business process model;
• an output to provide information associated with runtime code;
• and
• a compiler engine to:
• recognize a token synchronization gateway in the graph-based business process model,
• identify n upstream artifacts located upstream from the token synchronization gateway in the graph-based business process model,
• identifying a final artifact position directly in front of the token synchronization gateway, and
• compile the token synchronization gateway into the runtime code to perform a synchronization process, the synchronization process including:
• handling tokens T1 through Tn to synchronize the n upstream artifacts, each token being associated with one of the n upstream artifacts.
