“…The first one takes into account parameters related with inputs/outputs and names of each task of BP [3,4]; the second one is focused on the semantic inference of related concepts contained in ontologies [5][6][7][8]; the third one, compares the BP structure usually represented trough modeling formalisms which ease the structural analysis using mathematical techniques, such as graph isomorphism [9][10][11][12]; and the last one, compares the behavior of BP represented as interchange of messages within tasks, record of historical execution of BP, and control-flow [13,14].…”

Nowadays business process reuse is critical in companies that need to build flexible and service-based business solutions in order to react quickly and cost-effective to dynamic market-conditions. For this reason, many companies have implemented approaches to find relevant business processes to be reused to create new software solutions performing required business functionalities. This paper presents a multilevel retrieval approach that detects linguistic, structural, and behavioral properties to increase the precision level in recovering those business processes stored in a repository. Un enfoque multinivel para la recuperación de procesos de negocioResumen Actualmente reutilizar procesos de negocio es un procedimiento crítico especialmente para compañías que requieren construir soluciones flexibles y soportadas por servicios con el fin de afrontar de manera efectiva y a bajo costo las condiciones cambiantes del mercado. Por esta razón, muchas de ellas han implementado métodos para encontrar procesos de negocio relevantes que puedan ser reutilizados en la creación de nuevas soluciones software que cumplan con una determinada función de negocio. Este artí-culo presenta un método multinivel que detecta similitudes entre procesos de negocio, teniendo en cuenta propiedades lingüísticas, estructurales y de comportamiento, con el fin de incrementar el nivel de precisión en la recuperación de aquellos procesos existentes en un repositorio.Palabras clave: procesos de negocio, semántica del comportamiento, isomorfismo de sub-grafos, patrones de flujo de control, análisis de relevancia.

Large corporations increasingly utilize business process models for documenting and redesigning their operations. The extent of such modeling initiatives with several hundred models and dozens of often hardly trained modelers calls for automated quality assurance. While formal properties of control flow can easily be checked by existing tools, there is a notable gap for checking the quality of the textual content of models, in particular, its activity labels. In this paper, we address the problem of activity label quality in business process models. We designed a technique for the recognition of labeling styles, and the automatic refactoring of labels with quality issues. More specifically, we developed a parsing algorithm that is able to deal with the shortness of activity labels, which integrates natural language tools like WordNet and the Stanford Parser. Using three business process model collections from practice with differing labeling style distributions, we demonstrate the applicability of our technique. In comparison to a straightforward application of standard natural language tools, our technique provides much more stable results. As an outcome, the technique shifts the boundary of process model quality issues that can be checked automatically from syntactic to semantic aspects.

“…Pairwise computation of the distance of process models allows comparing a given query with models from a process repository, and thus, to find similar models. They also need to be ranked [27]. However, traditional indexes cannot be applied as the notion of pairwise similarity does not yield any ordering of process models.There are two competing approaches to indexing process models: (1) indexing process model elements [28,29]; and (2) indexing complete process models, provided a similarity metric is used that satisfied the triangle inequality property [30].…”
