Guaranteeing Soundness of Configurable Process Variants in Provop

“…Different work exists on how specialization can be applied to deal with process model variability taking advantage of the generative nature of a specialization hierarchy [17], [18]. [17] has shown how specialization can be realized for state and dataflow diagrams, respectively.…”

“…For both diagram types a set of transformation rules is provided resulting in process specializations when applying them to a particular model. Similarly, [18] discusses transformation rules to define specialization for models based on Petri Nets.…”

Mining Based on Learning from Process Change Logs

“…Though the depicted change operations are discussed in relation to ADEPT, they are generic in the sense that they can be easily applied in connection with other process meta models as well [1]. For example, a process change as described in the ADEPT framework can be mapped to the concept of life-cycle inheritance as known from Petri Nets [6]. We refer to ADEPT in this paper since it covers by far most high-level change patterns and change support features when compared to other approaches [1].…”

Flexibility in Process-Aware Information Systems

“…The instance running on the old model (with B being enabled and C being completed) does not comply with the new model version since its marking cannot be transferred to it (B must be completed before C may start). Such undesired runtime situations are denoted as dynamic change bug [16]. To exterminate them adequate correctness criteria are needed; e.g., to decide whether a given process instance is compliant with a modified process model and -if yes -how to adapt instance states when migrating the instance to the new model version.…”
