Abstract:
Determining similarities between business process models needs to be resolved in several cases, e.g., when business processes must be merged, configured or integrated; when reusing fragments of process models, etc. Similarity can be tackled at the semantic, structural and/or behavioral levels. In this paper, we are interested in the semantic level similarity between business process models. More specifically, we present a method for detecting semantic relations between activity labels in process models belonging to the same business domain.
