Auto-completion for Executable Business Process Models

Recommendation-based editor for business process modeling

“…Process/service search and composition: This paper has presented a search functionality for business process models. Many approaches focus on a semi-automatic composition or discovery of Web services defined in WSDL [6,37,54], using semantic descriptions [12,37,59,62,67] or according to QoS contracts [14,41]. One limitation of the semantics-based approaches is that they require an existing (background) ontology.…”

Simulation-Based Evaluation of Recommendation Algorithms Assisting Business Process Modeling

“…A few articles presenting recommendationbased techniques for Business Process Modeling (BPM) provide the performance evaluation results (Koschmider et al, 2011) (see Table 1 for comparison). On the other hand, the state-of-the-art solutions use a variety of approaches involving recommendations such as the recommendation of process fragments and process auto-completion (Koschmider et al, 2011;Born et al, 2009;Wieloch et al, 2011), recommendation of subsequent BPM elements during the modeling process (Zhang and Xu, 2009;Zeng et al, 2011) (the approach investigated in this paper), as well as the recommendation of entire processes and component labels (Leopold et al, 2011). Due to variety of recommendation approaches used in this area, the need for defining the common user-centric performance evaluation methodology enabling the fair comparison of proposed solutions appears as even more evident.…”

Pattern-based auto-completion of UML modeling activities

“…Software development experts and novices benefit from auto-completing textual inputs when using IDEs [4]. Researchers demonstrated that auto-completion is beneficial for graphical modeling tasks as well [13,3,11,7]. However, supporting software development by auto-completing UML modeling activiPermission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.…”
