Context Contemporary process management systems have been supporting users during the execution of repetitive, predefined business processes. Many business processes are no longer limited to explicit business rules as processes can be unpredictable, knowledge-driven and emergent. In recent years, knowledge-intensive processes (KIPs) have become more important for many businesses. However, quality-related aspects of these processes are still scarce. Therefore, it is hard to evaluate these types of processes in terms of their quality. Objective: In this paper, we present a Systematic Literature Review aiming at investigating and reporting quality-related aspects of KIPs. Results: We identified in the selected studies the characteristics and methods related to KIPs. Although several papers present quality aspects of processes, literature still lacks papers with directions on the quality-related approaches in KIPs.

“…Tables 1 and 2 illustrate the different behavioral categories on two granularity levels for object lifecycle processes. Process engines capable of executing object-centric processes such as PHILhar-monicFlows [16] or FLOWer [5] may generate all three behavior categories at runtime through the use of advanced concepts such as dynamic changes [6].…”

In object-aware process management, processes are represented as multiple interacting objects rather than a sequence of activities, enabling data-driven and highly flexible processes. In such flexible scenarios, however, it is crucial to be able to check to what degree the process is executed according to the model (i.e., guided behavior). Conformance checking algorithms (e.g., Token Replay or Alignments) deal with this issue for activity-centric processes based on a process model (e.g., specified as a petri net) and a given event log that reflects how the process instances were actually executed. This paper applies conformance checking algorithms to the behavior of objects. In object-aware process management, object lifecycle processes specify the various states into which corresponding objects may transition as well as the object attribute values required to complete these states. The approach accounts for flexible lifecycle executions using multiple workflow nets and conformance categories, therefore facilitating process analysis for engineers.

One aspect of monitoring business processes in real-time is to determine their current progress. For any real-time progress determination it is of utmost importance to accurately predict the remaining share still to be executed in relation to the total process. At run-time, however, this constitutes a particular challenge, as unexpected ad-hoc changes of the ongoing business processes may occur at any time. To properly consider such changes in the context of progress determination, different progress variants may be suitable. In this paper, an empirical study with 194 participants is presented that investigates user acceptance of different progress variants in various scenarios. The study aims to identify which progress variant, each visualised by a progress bar, is accepted best by users in case of dynamic process changes, which usually effect the current progress of the respective progress instance. The results of this study allow for an implementation of the most suitable variant in business process monitoring systems. In addition, the study provides deeper insights into the general acceptance of different progress measurements. As a key observation for most scenarios, the majority of the participants give similar answers, e.g., progress jumps within a progress bar are rejected by most participants. Consequently, it can be assumed that a general understanding of progress exists. This underlines the importance of comprehending the users' intuitive understanding of progress to implement the latter in the most suitable fashion.
