“…4.4.5.3 Refactoring More theoretical and practical discussions than empirical studies address model refactoringthat is, replacing ''process model fragments [with] semantically equivalent ones'' to achieve higher quality and understandability of models (Fernández-Ropero et al 2013, p. 1397. In principle, model refactoring lowers the intrinsic cognitive load in understanding a process model without changing the process's behavior.…”

Visual process models are meant to facilitate comprehension of business processes. However, in practice, process models can be difficult to understand. The main goal of this article is to clarify the sources of cognitive effort in comprehending process models. The article undertakes a comprehensive descriptive review of empirical and theoretical work in order to categorize and summarize systematically existing findings on the factors that influence comprehension of visual process models. Methodologically, the article builds on a review of forty empirical studies that measure objective comprehension of process models, seven studies that measure subjective comprehension and user preferences, and thirty-two articles that discuss the factors that influence the comprehension of process models. The article provides information systems researchers with an overview of the empirical state of the art of process model comprehension and provides recommendations for new research questions to be addressed and methods to be used in future experiments.

“… Optimize the business process structure (e.g., [36])the business process model is analysed in order to define deadlocks, synchronization possibilities, and cycles, to exclude trivial activities, to change the granularity level of the process, and other similar purposes. This type of analysis is possible in cases where the business process is described with formal mathematical methods.…”

In business process modeling the de facto standard BPMN has emerged. However, the applications of this notation have many subsets of elements and various extensions. Also, BPMN still coincides with many other modeling languages, forming a large set of available options for business process modeling languages and dialects. While, in general, the goal of modelers is a central notion in the choice of modeling languages and notations, in most researches that propose guidelines, techniques, and methods for business process modeling language evaluation and/or selection, the business process modeling goal is not formalized and not transparently taken into account. To overcome this gap, and to explicate and help to handle business process modeling complexity, the approach to formalize the business process modeling goal, and the supporting three dimensional business process modeling framework, are proposed.

“…Business process models derived via the reverse engineering approach followed by MARBLE TM often require some refinement before they can be utilised for further transformations. For such purposes the IBUPROFEN (Improvement and BUsiness Processes Refactoring OF Embedded Noise) approach has been developed, which introduces a set of algorithms for the refactoring of business process models expressed in BPMN [32]. It introduces a set of ten refactoring algorithms which can be applied on business process models represented by graphs, expressed in BPMN.…”

Part 3: Securing EnterprisesInternational audienceThe modernisation of enterprise legacy systems, without compromises in their functionality, is a demanding and time consuming endeavour. To retain the underlying business behaviour during their modernisation, the MARBLETM framework has been developed for the extraction of business process models from their source code. Building on top of that work, in this paper we propose an integrated approach for transforming the extracted legacy process models into Secure Tropos goal models. Such models facilitate the elicitation of security requirements in a high level of abstraction, which are then incorporated back into the process models of the modernised systems as security features. Therefore high level models can be derived from legacy source code with minimal manual intervention, where security can be elaborated by nontechnical stakeholders in alignment with organisational objectives
