Simplifying process model abstraction: Techniques for generating model names

作者:

Highlights:

• We proposes a technique to automatically infer suitable names for business process models and fragments thereof.

• This technique is useful for model abstraction scenarios and refactoring.

• The technique is grounded in an adaptation of the theory of meaning.

• We implemented the technique in a prototype tool.

• We conducted an extensive evaluation using three process model collections and a case study.
