Flexab - Flexible Business Process Model Abstraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Process models are a widely established means to capture business processes. Large organizations maintain process model collections with hundreds of process models. Maintenance of these collections can be supported by business process model abstraction. Given a detailed model, an abstraction technique derives a coarse grained process model that preserves the essential process properties. In this paper, we introduce Flexab, a tool that realizes flexible process model abstraction. Arbitrary groups of activities may be selected for abstraction. Flexab is realized in a mashup environment, which allows for creating different abstracted versions of a process model and comparing them on a single screen.
