Abstract

Recent years have seen an increased uptake of business pro-cess management technology in industries. This has resulted in organi-zations trying to manage large collections of business process models. One of the challenges facing these organizations concerns the retrieval of models from large business process model repositories. For example, in some cases new process models may be derived from existing mod-els, thus nding these models and adapting them may be more eective than developing them from scratch. As process model repositories may be large, query evaluation may be time consuming. Hence, we investi-gate the use of indexes to speed up this evaluation process. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate that our proposal achieves a signi cant reduction in query evaluation time.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
