Realizing Evolution Traceability of Business Process Models Vrinda Yadav 10.26180/5d3e43fb50039 https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Realizing_Evolution_Traceability_of_Business_Process_Models/9122519 The thesis introduces a novel approach called process edification to address the problem of traceable evolution of business process models. An ontological meta-model is a basis to model evolution of business processes. A process is first conceptualized as an architecture of components and connectors in this ontology, which evolves through a series of systematic change events. Graph based analysis techniques are also introduced to reason with evolution history. An edification calculus is developed as a model of implementation of the defined ontological meta-model, resulting into a tool called Business Process Evolution Management (BPEM) to demonstrate edification of business process models. 2019-07-29 00:55:21 Traceability Evolution of Business Processes Process Edification Business Process Evolution Management Software Engineering
