The SAP reference model is a publically available model that contains more than 600 non-trivial process models expressed in terms of Event-driven Process Chains (EPCs). We have automatically translated these EPCs into YAWL models and analyzed these models using WofYAWL, a verification tool based on Petri nets, in order to acquire knowledge about errors in large enterprise models. We discovered that at least 34 of these EPCs contain errors (i.e., at least 5.6% is flawed) and analyzed which parts of the SAP reference model contain most errors. This systematic analysis of the SAP reference model illustrates the need for verification tools such as WofYAWL.}, date = {2006-12-04}, ee = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11841760_38}, isbn = {3-540-38901-6}, keywords = {cites.pclass mrefs research.bizInt.bpm research.conceptual } } @article{aalst06reference, title = {Configurable Process Models as a Basis for Reference Modeling}, author = {W.M.P. van der Aalst and A.

Reference models support the configuration of these systems. Existing reference models use rather traditional languages. For example, the SAP referencemodel uses Event-driven Process Chains (EPCs). Unfortunately, traditional languages like EPCs do not capture the configuration-aspectswell. Consider for example the concept of “choice” in the control-flow perspective. Although any process modeling language,including EPCs, offers a choice construct (e.g., the XOR connector in EPCs), a single construct will not be able to capturethe time dimension, scope, and impact of a decision. Some decisions are taken at run-time for a single case while other decisionsare taken at build-time impacting a whole organization and all current and future cases. This position paper discusses theneed for configurable process models as a basic building block for reference modeling. The focus is on the control-flow perspective.}, keywords = {cites.pclass mrefs research.bizInt.bpm research.conceptual } } @inproceedings{russell06uml, title = {On the suitability of UML 2.0 activity diagrams for business process modelling}, address = {Darlinghurst, Australia, Australia}, author = {Nick Russell and Wil M.

It embodies a number of modelling formalisms that have broad applicability in capturing both the static and dynamic aspects of software systems. One area of UML that has received particular attention is that of Activity Diagrams (ADs), which provide a high-level means of modelling dynamic system behaviour. In this paper we examine the suitability of UML 2.0 Activity Diagrams for business process modelling, using the Workflow Patterns as an evaluation framework. The Workflow Patterns are a collection of patterns developed for assessing control-flow, data and resource capabilities in the area of Process Aware Information Systems (PAIS). In doing so, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the capabilities of UML 2.0 ADs, and their strengths and weaknesses when utilised for business process modelling.}, location = {Hobart, Australia}, isbn = {1-920-68235-X}, keywords = {cites.pclass mrefs research.bizInt.bpm research.conceptual.uml } } @article{aalst03solutions, title = {Advanced Topics In Workflow Management: Issues, Requirements, And Solutions}, address = {Amsterdam, The Netherlands, The Netherlands}, author = {Wil M.
