Intelligent Process Modeling and Labeling
As it follows from the title, the seminar focuses on the topic of intelligent support for business process modeling and labeling. Business process modeling involves the representation of a business process using a modeling language. Labeling deals with finding suitable textual descriptions within the model to facilitate an intuitive understanding of the domain of the process (in other words – creation of a vocabulary). Together with you we aim to investigate the relationships and interdependencies between modeling and labeling. In essence, we would like to investigate four major use cases:
- Creating a vocabulary given a repository of process models
- Modeling a process given a particular vocabulary
- Analyzing a model repository
- Merging different repositories
Different concepts and techniques are potentially helpful to manage and support these use cases including linguistic approaches, information retrieval techniques, metrics for process models, formal ontologies, structural and behavioral properties of process models, concepts from behavioral inheritance, to name but a few. Beyond that there is extensive expert knowledge available in consulting firms and tool vendors of the business process management industry which is not yet systematically documented by research. Accordingly, your objective is to investigate some of these potentially useful technologies from a systems engineering and from an empirical research perspective.
