ProcessGene Query - a Tool for Querying the Content Layer of Business Process Models

One of the main challenges currently facing the world of enterprise information technology in general and ERP/SCM/CRM systems in particular, is visibility into the business of organizations. While the phenomena of devising supporting tools for process execution frameworks is widespread in academia and practice, there have been few attempts to develop methodologies and software tools that support structured analysis of the business process content layer. The incorporation of content into a business process model produces complexity in the sense that it adds semantics and relationships of actual business data. To confront this complexity, this research suggests a framework and a supporting software tool “ProcessGene Query” for conducting search-queries on business process models.
