Abstract:
Business process repository aims at business process model discovery and reusing. However, most of current approaches for process matchmaking have the limitation that the process models should be in the same granularity, wherease a process repository with good support for multi-granularity business process retrieval is still rare. In this paper, we propose a similarity measurement mechanism which can effectively calculate the similarity between business process models in different granularity levels. A case study is used to demonstrate how modelers can search multi-granularity business process. At last, we conduct extensive experiments based on real dataset to study the performance of the repository.
