论文摘要
业务流程建模语言通常通过使用(图形)符号来代表业务流程模型。这些符号可能会根据语言的详细性,建模范式,语言的焦点等而变化。为了使特定语言所采用的不同构造和规则以及跨不同语言的差距弥合差距,文献中已经提出了元模型。这些元模型是关于哪种最先进的文献认为与描述业务流程相关的关键知识来源。这项工作的目的是提供广泛的系统文献综述(SLR)业务流程元模型。该SLR旨在回答有关研究问题的问题:(i)文献中提出的元模型; (ii)它们包含的重复结构; (iii)他们的目的; (iv)他们的评估。
Business process modelling languages typically enable the representation of business process models by employing (graphical) symbols. These symbols can vary depending upon the verbosity of the language, the modelling paradigm, the focus of the language, and so on. To make explicit the different constructs and rules employed by a specific language, as well as bridge the gap across different languages, meta-models have been proposed in literature. These meta-models are a crucial source of knowledge on what state-of-the-art literature considers relevant to describe business processes. The goal of this work is to provide an extensive systematic literature review (SLR) of business process meta-models. This SLR aims at answering research questions concerning: (i) the kind of meta-models proposed in literature; (ii) the recurring constructs they contain; (iii) their purposes; and (iv) their evaluations.
