An Approach to Optimize Data Processing in Business Processes
Summary: Rewrites business processes via a semi-procedural graph that exposes data and control dependencies, enabling semantics-preserving data-management optimizations. A multi-stage strategy achieves orders-of-magnitude, DB-independent speedups by jointly reasoning about data and control flow. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
