Searching Workflows with Hierarchical Views

Summary: Models workflows as a 3D hierarchy of abstraction views, enabling keyword search over multi-view hierarchies beyond trees/graphs. Proposes a projection-based 2D result for queries and an efficient workflow search engine; experiments show effective retrieval. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
