TLDR
A model-driven business process recovery framework that captures the essential functional features representing a business process is proposed that utilizes static tracing techniques and a number of heuristics to map source code entities to high-level business process entities.Abstract:
A business process attempts to encapsulate the delivery of a sequence of tasks, typically starting from accepting a service request and ending at certain points, such as the completion of the service. We propose a model-driven business process recovery framework that captures the essential functional features representing a business process. The framework utilizes static tracing techniques and a number of heuristics to map source code entities to high-level business process entities. A case study is preformed to recover IBM/spl reg/ WebSphere/spl reg/ Business Integration business processes from IBM WebSphere Commerce code. The experimental result demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed framework.read more

Automatic steering of behavioral model inference
TL;DR: This paper increases the precision of automata inferred from execution traces, by leveraging two learning techniques and generalization process that preserves temporal properties while merging states avoids breaking non-local relations, and solves one of the major cause of overgeneralized models.

Business process archeology using MARBLE
TL;DR: The proposed business process archeology method is less time-consuming and more exhaustive than a manual process redesign by experts from scratch and helps maintainers to extract the business knowledge needed for the system to evolve.

From business process model to consistent implementation: a case for formal verification methods
TL;DR: This paper begins from a business process model, which emphasizes the underlying structural process pattern and its associated requirements, and maps this model into a corresponding IT model based on nondeterministic automata with state variables, which is then mapped into a pattern-based modeling and mapping process.
