“…There are many different modeling languages nowadays for BPM and its visualization. Therefore, the five most recognizable languages have been chosen according to Pereira and Silva (2016). These are the Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 (BPMN 2.0), which is considered the standard, the Event-driven Process Chain (EPC), the Unified Modeling Language -Activity Diagrams (UML-AD) created by the Object Management Group, the Integration DEFintion (IDEF), Role Activity Diagram (RAD).…”

Artificial intelligence became increasingly useful since the 1990s, trying to imitate the human brain with its thinking, reasoning, and learning using the key concepts of machine learning, deep learning, and artificial neural networks. Case-based reasoning (CBR), another form of artificial intelligence, stores and retrieves past cases that can be adapted to find a solution to a current problem. The new solution can then be retained and made available to solve other future problems. Business Process Management (BPM) analyzes and optimizes business processes to make them more effective and efficient for an organization's strategy to ultimately increasing shareholder value. CBR can help to support BPM, making better decisions with existing knowledge when solving process problems. This study investigates effectively store, retrieve, and adapt Business Process Management Notation (BPMN) solutions that best fit the underlying BPM problem using case-based reasoning as a tool. Therefore, a theoretical model was proposed, containing each CBR live cycle phase with different possible tools applied to BPMN diagrams, which was validated by expert interviews. This study concludes that a whole CBR life cycle can be applied to BPMN diagram problems with the need for human intervention. This work did not have the objective to solve the whole problem but to contribute to a possible solution by using CBR through a theoretical model.

“…To express the behavior of the ABSM on the top of M St-A , M Op-I and M Op-A metamodels in the subject domain independent way we need to explicitly describe tools, components and methods that are traditionally used for creating ABSM. To create the top level specification (M Op ) the wieldy known workflow approach can be utilized [8,9], where behavioral aspects of ABMS methodology is expressed as a sequence of operations glued together by the predefined set of operators. In the course of the current research M Op has rather simple structure (see below) but it can be improved and extended in the future.…”

“…Each of these subtasks is determined by the selected classes of technical state dynamics (k = 1..K) for X element type and information levels (m = 1..M): (ITS11 → … → ITS1M → ITS21 →… → ITSKM) (9) For each stage of identification process an appropriate knowledge base and a variety of computing modules have to be developed. Some examples can be found in [11,12].…”

The article discusses the MDD related agentbased modeling method that provides a four-level representation of the model elements throughout the design process. In the proposed method it is suggested to separate the description of the agent-based simulation model (ABSM) structure and behavior into domain independent and domainspecific parts. It means that there are no predefined structures of ABSM and the experts with appropriate knowledge and skills for some specific problem areas can create them. The application of the proposed method for contingency management in critical infrastructures is shown on the illustrative example that describes ABSM development process for solving problems of the unique mechanical systems states identification and forecasting.

“…There are three groups of notations identified in the result of the analysis [20]: notations that allow us to describe business rules (IDEF3, BPMN, ARIS eEPC) [21]; notations aimed to develop specifications based on flowcharts (Basic Flowchart, Cross Functional Flowchart) [22]; notations using the object-oriented approach (Unified Modeling Language, UML) [23].…”

Developing variants of scenarios for a production enterprise's achieving a desirable fi nancial position using simulation modeling tools requires a specifi cation and verifi cation of requirements for the simulation model. Availability of such variants of scenarios allows stakeholders to select the most effi cient solution. The verifi cation is performed by business analysts and key stakeholders; the aim is to assess readiness of the requirements for fi nal approval and to check that the requirements provide all material information for future work. Verifi cation includes evaluating the requirements regarding their compliance with the company's business analysis standards, as well as assessment of the model's completeness and common terminology used for description of the requirements. Understanding the desired solution, which meets all the stakeholders' requirements, is the most important element in requirements verifi cation. For developing a simulation model, which is essential for determining variants of development scenarios and covers fi nancial fl ows of a typical production company, a list of verifi ed requirements is determined. Criteria of requirements verifi cation include not only acceptance criteria, but also the Graphical Requirements Analysis framework (GRA framework), that is used for verifi cation of functional requirements. In contrast with other notations, representation of requirements for using
