Difference-Preserving Process Merge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Providing merging techniques for business processes fosters the management and maintenance of (large) process model repositories. Contrary to existing approaches that focus on preserving behavior of all participating process models, this paper presents a merging technique that aims at preserving the difference between the participating process models by exploiting the existence of a common parent process, e.g., a reference or standard process model.

Improve Resource-sharing through Functionality-preserving Merge of Cloud Application Topologies
Resource sharing is an important aspect how cost savings in cloud computing are realized. This is especially important in multi-tenancy settings, where different tenants share the same resource. This paper presents an approach to merge two application topologies into one, while on the one hand preserving the functionality of both applications and on the other hand enabling sharing of similar co...
متن کاملWorkflow Model Compositions Preserving Relaxed Soundness
Very often, e.g. in the context of inter-organizational Workflow or web services, it is necessary to merge existing business process descriptions. It is clear that correctness criteria valid for the single process descriptions should remain valid also for the combined model. However, looking at the popular soundness criterion this can not always be guaranteed. In this paper various composition ...
متن کاملTopology-preserving Network Snakes
Active contour models have been part of extensive research since their introduction in the late eighties, because their concept of coupling the image data with shape control is a powerful method to delineate non-rigid curves. Various applications and enhancements have been examined using this technique, for example the development of multiple and coupled active contour models. Latest research d...
