“…Software engineering researchers and practitioners often use the terms "antipattern" and "smell" interchangeably. Specifically, authors such as Palma et al [93], Palomba et al [98], and Linares et al [65] use both the terms as synonyms. For instance, Linares et al [65] asserts this notion explicitly -".…”

Context: Smells in software systems impair software quality and make them hard to maintain and evolve. The software engineering community has explored various dimensions concerning smells and produced extensive research related to smells. The plethora of information poses challenges to the community to comprehend the state-of-the-art tools and techniques. Objective: We aim to present the current knowledge related to software smells and identify challenges as well as opportunities in the current practices. Method: We explore the definitions of smells, their causes as well as effects, and their detection mechanisms presented in the current literature. We studied 445 primary studies in detail, synthesized the information, and documented our observations. Results: The study reveals five possible defining characteristics of smellsindicator, poor solution, violates best-practices, impacts quality, and recurrence. We curate ten common factors that cause smells to occur including lack of skill or awareness and priority to features over quality. We classify existing smell detection methods into five groups-metrics, rules/heuristics, history, machine learning, and optimization-based detection. Challenges in the smells detection include the tools' proneness to false-positives and poor coverage of smells detectable by existing tools.

Despite the abundance of analysis techniques to discover antipatterns in BPEL, there is hardly any support for authorization constraint errors in web services orchestrated by BPEL4People. Most techniques simply abstract from people (human user interactions), while people dependencies can be the source of all kinds of errors. This paper focuses on the discovery authorization constraint anti-patterns in web services orchestrated by BPEL4People. We present an analysis approach that is expressed in terms of rule card, the wellknown, stable, adaptable, and effective model-checking techniques can be used to discover authorization constraint errors. Moreover, our approach enables a seamless integration of control-flow and authorization constraint verification.

“…Apart from communication and documentation purposes, business process models may be used to automate the process or to analyse it either structurally (e.g. free of dead and live locks) (Palma, Moha, & Gueheneuc, 2013;Van der Aalst, 2003) or semantically (e.g. process re-engineering).…”

Summary Business models are economic models that describe the rationale of why organizations create and deliver value. These models focus on what organizations offer and why. Business process models capture business activities and the ways in which they are accomplished (i.e. their coordination). They explain who is involved in the activities, and how and when these activities should be performed. This paper discusses the alignment between business models and business process models. It proposes a novel systematic method for extracting a value chain (i.e. business model) expressed in the Resources, Events, Agents (REA) ontology from a business process model expressed in Business Process Model and Notation™. Our contribution is twofold: (1) from a theoretical standpoint we identified a set of structural and behavioural patterns that enable us to infer the corresponding REA value chain; (2) from a pragmatic perspective, our approach can be used to derive useful knowledge about the business process and serve as a starting point for business analysis.
