Abstract
Business Process modeling enables an organization to analyze their business operations and the change comes into those operations with the passage of time. There are too many processes in an organization; for managing those processes organizations maintain repositories of process models. However process models repositories are build in different stages and by different people in the large organizations so with that case repository must have data duplication and noisy data. For managing that data there must be some automated technique required. To managing those noisy collections researchers are trying to build repositories which are advanced and manageable easily. For making those kind of repositories there are some advanced features required .these features are classified into four types, evaluation, comparison, management and presentation. Whereas evaluation covers the analysis of quality, correctness and performance analysis .comparison considers similarity between models and pattern based analysis. Management describes about how to control extensions, individualization and reference based completion of the repository. Last and most useful feature is presentation of the process models presentation relates to useful generalization of processes and secondary notations (size,color,etc). As people have tried to invent several automatic techniques for matching, it is very important to rigorously evaluate these approaches. If the approaches are not evaluated rigorously, there are chances that the approaches our work for process models of specific category, such as large process models or dense process models. Also, one would like to be able to say which are better, which worse, and also which words, or varieties of issues, present particular problems to which algorithms. In order to evaluate approaches to process matching/detection it is useful to have access to a collection of models that containing examples of the types of models/models of different features that we aim to identify. To assist in this study it was necessary to create a comparable corpus consisting of a selection of process models that have specific features.
The purpose of this research was to develop a gold standard collection of process models, classification of process models, develop queries on defined classification and matching those
queries to determine validity of collection. In our research work, we have built a collection of process models which are in BPMN 2.0. After creating the corpus of process models we classified them. The task of classification will be done based on structural Metrics like size, type etc. A set of queries will be made from each class then we performed query matching on the collection of process models. For process models matching Manual approaches of similarity computation used.
