Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and apparatus apply a transition to an initial information integration flow graph to form a modified information integration flow graph which is visually depicted in a modified design canvas. The initial information integration flow graph has nodes, each node having initial location coordinates for visual depiction in an initial design canvas, wherein nodes of the modified information integration flow graph having location coordinates based upon the initial location coordinates.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: applying a transition, with a processing unit, to an initial information integration flow graph to form a modified information integration flow graph, the information integration flow graph having nodes, each node having initial location coordinates for visual depiction in an initial design canvas; and modifying, with the processing unit, the initial design canvas to automatically form and visibly depict a modified design canvas in response to changes to the initial information integration flow graph by the applied transition, wherein the processing unit modifies the initial design canvas based upon the initial location coordinates of the nodes of the initial design canvas so as to reduce the number of nodes of the initial design canvas that have modified location coordinates in the modified design canvas, wherein the processing unit modifies the initial design canvas to automatically form and visibly depict the modified design canvas based upon a predetermined sensitivity value defining a minimum spacing between adjacent nodes.
