relation between them. A particular strength of an
ACPM created with ArtProcsMod with enhancing the
traceability is that it derived from designated pro-
cess monitoring needs. The application of the process
monitoring needs allow ACPM to specify intermedi-
ate artifacts that lead to enhance the accuracy of the
trace path. In addition, ACPM supports the integra-
tion of roles in the informational model. Hence, al-
lowing the creation of trace paths between the roles
and the produced or manipulated artifacts. And fi-
nally, ACPM keeps track of the tasks that are meant
to produce an artifact.
As part of our future work, we plan to further eval-
uate the methodology by applying it in real-life cases
where traceability is important, e.g. software devel-
opment and healthcare system. Another direction in-
cludes discovering more modeling patterns for some
determined methodology’s steps. More thoroughly,
we intend to propose a process modeling language,
that directly specifies process modeling requirements
and enables automatic transformations of some Art-
ProcsMod’s steps.
