“…Up to now, research has mainly focused on pattern detection (e.g. [18], [19]), although a few approaches support modeling [20]. In comparison to other construction support techniques, patterns are more abstract in nature and usually require a thorough interpretation by the modeler, in contrast to element suggestions implemented by recommender systems.…”

Recommender systems are in widespread use in many areas, especially electronic commerce solutions. In this contribution, we apply recommender functionalities to business process modeling and investigate their potential for supporting process modeling. To do so, we have implemented two prototypes, demonstrated them at a major fair and collected user feedback. After analysis of the feedback, we have confronted the findings with the results of the experiment. Our results indicate that fairgoers expect increased modeling speed as the key advantage and completeness of models as the most unlikely advantage. This stands in contrast to an initial experiment revealing that modelers, in fact, increase the completeness of their models when adequate knowledge is presented while time consumption is not necessarily reduced. We explain possible causes of this mismatch and finally hypothesize on two "sweet spots" of process modeling recommender systems.

“…A WAP refers to the description of a recurrent business function as it can be frequently found in business processes [1]. We had developed an empirical study, in which we analyzed more than 200 real-world process models in order to confirm the existence of the seven WAPs [2]. The study showed that the analyzed process models can be designed based on the investigated patterns; i.e., the set of identified WAPs is necessary as well as sufficient to design the 200 process models, at least at a certain level of granularity.…”

This paper provides a complete version of the Workflow Activity Patterns (WAP) in the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) as well as an extended evaluation of the capabilities of BPMN and their strengths and weaknesses when being utilizing for representing WAPs. When implementing the activity patterns in existing Business Process Modeling tools, it is fundamental to represent them in BPMN. This representation may facilitate the adoption of the WAPs by BPMN tools as well as the use of the WAPs in process design.

Legacy systems are systems which execute useful tasks for the organization. Unfortunately, to maintain a legacy system running is a complex and costly task. Thus, in recent years several approaches were suggested to rewrite legacy systems using contemporary technologies. In this paper we present a method for rewriting legacy systems based on Business Process Management (BPM). The use of BPM for migrating legacy systems facilitates the monitoring and continuous improvement of the information systems existing in the organization.
