“…Our spreadsheet-based approach is dedicated to people who are unfamiliar with business process modelling and that is why it is important to transform the created spreadsheet into a BPMN diagram in a simple way. Such a diagram is a correct BPMN model, however, it can still contain some behaviour anomalies if the spreadsheet contains some loops [15]. The proposed set of transformation rules can use a CSV file that can be created from any spreadsheet software.…”

Business Process models help to visualize processes of an organization. In enterprises, these processes are often specified in internal regulations, resolutions or other law acts of a company. Such descriptions, like task lists, have mostly form of enumerated lists or spreadsheets. We present a method how to generate a BPMN process model from a spreadsheetbased representation. In contrast to the existing approaches, our method does not require explicit specification of gateways in the spreadsheet, but it takes advantage of nested list form.

“…As future work, we plan to supplement the patterns with other decision aspects in BP models and extend them by investigating other process languages as well as extensions of the BPMN notation [30]. Furthermore, we plan to evaluate these patterns empirically using real-life process models as well as to check the possible anomalies that these patterns can induce [31].…”

Rules and processes constitute powerful representation forms. Although the same notions can be expressed in both of these representations, there is a significant difference in abstraction levels between processes and rules. In practice, rules are mostly used for the specification of rule task logic in processes. In this paper, we present various options where and how rules can be perceived in business processes. We introduce rule-based pattern perspective for process models, focusing on BPMN 2.0 Business Process Models.

“…Considering designing processes, one can think about models designed manually by business analysts, as well as models generated from other representations such as: natural text description [1], structured text [2], spreadsheets [3], other representations like UML [4], or mining such models from event logs [5]. All such models can suffer from various anomalies [6]- [8]. Some of such anomalies can be avoided by validation models [9], [10] or verification [11] of models.…”
