TLDR
An empirical diagnostic analysis of control flow errors such as deadlock and lack of synchronization as well as syntactic errors arising out of poor modeling practices for real-life industrial process models is provided.Abstract:
Business process models expressed in languages such as BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) play a critical role in implementing the workflows in modern organizations. However, control flow errors such as deadlock and lack of synchronization as well as syntactic errors arising out of poor modeling practices often occur in industrial process models. In this paper, we provide an empirical diagnostic analysis of such errors for real-life industrial process models. The investigation involved models from different application domains. It turns out that error frequency has non-linear relation with error depth (the maximum depth at which an error occurred) across models from all domains. Error occurrence has statistically significant correlations (pread more

Understanding the Occurrence of Errors in Process Models Based on Metrics
TL;DR: In this article, the connection between formal errors (such as deadlocks) and a set of metrics that capture various structural and behavioral aspects of a process model is discussed, and a comprehensive validation based on an extensive sample of EPC process models from practice is provided.

A discourse on complexity of process models
TL;DR: Insight is gathered from software engineering, cognitive science, and graph theory on how complexity can be measured, and in how far analogous metrics can be defined on business process models.

Fundamentals of control flow in workflows
TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to establish a formal foundation for control-flow aspects of workflow specification languages, that assists in understanding fundamental properties of such languages, in particular their expressive power.

Detection and prediction of errors in EPCs of the SAP reference model
TL;DR: This article translated about 600 process models expressed as Event-driven Process Chains into YAWL models, and discovered that at least 34 of these EPCs contain errors, and used logistic regression to show that complexity of E PCs has a significant impact on error probability.

An empirical study of the bad smells and class error probability in the post-release object-oriented system evolution
Wei Li,Raed Shatnawi +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that some bad smells were positively associated with the class error probability in the three error-severity levels in an industrial-strength open source system.
