An Approach to Optimize Data Processing in Business Processes

Summary: Rewrite-rule framework to optimize data handling in business processes, preserving semantics. Semi-procedural process-graph model externalizes data/control; multi-stage optimization; prototype shows DB-agnostic gains from unified data/control reasoning.
