A Comparative Analysis of Business Process Model Similarity Measures

Business process analysis by model checking

In order to check the performance of a process, key performance indicators will be necessary. Key performance indicators (KPI's) help to compare the profitability of two processes. To obtain detailed information on the performance, a procedure is needed to analyse a process by checking its model. Such a procedure helps to evaluate a process without the need of doing an expensive attempt by test...

General Statistical Business Process Model

Statistical business process is variously designed and implemented in different organizations. This makes it difficult to exchange the knowledge, benefit from the good practices and the cooperation between national and international organizations. In order to solve this problem and help statistical organizations discuss developing statistical metadata systems, General Statistical Business Proce...

Graph Matching Algorithms for Business Process Model Similarity Search

We investigate the problem of ranking all process models in a repository according to their similarity with respect to a given process model. We focus specifically on the application of graph matching algorithms to this similarity search problem. Since the corresponding graph matching problem is NP-complete, we seek to find a compromise between computational complexity and quality of the comput...

Business Process Model Similarity as a Proxy for Group Consensus

Consensus is an important measure for the success of any business process modeling effort. Although intensively studied in the general literature on group processes, consensus has hardly been considered in business process modeling and never seriously measured. We define consensus as the level of agreement of group members’ views on the process and introduce business process similarity as a pro...
