许多组织以渐进的方式建立其业务流程管理活动。因此，在开始时没有定义总体结构。然而，由于业务流程建模活动经常产生成百上千的流程模型，因此对这种结构的需求越来越大。这一挑战要求一种技术，以自动提取过程类别从一组过程模型，产生一个最新的视图的结构的过程模型的集合。它还提供了一种检查预定义的过程类别是否仍然合理的方法。在本文中，我们介绍了一种技术，自动提取过程类别的过程模型集合，并测试它使用的收集行业。结果表明，该技术的有用性，揭示了预先存在的过程类别的问题。通过这种方式，我们为过程模型管理和质量保证领域做出了贡献。
Many organizations build up their business process management activities in an incremental way. As a result, there is no overarching structure defined at the beginning. However, as business process modeling initiatives often yield hundreds to thousands of process models, there is a growing need for such a structure. This challenge calls for a technique to extract process categories from a set of process models automatically which yields an up-to-date view of the structure of a collection of process models. It also provides a means to check whether pre-defined process categories are still reasonable. In this paper, we introduce a technique for automatically extracting process categories from process model collections and test it using a collection from industry. The results demonstrate the usefulness of the technique by revealing issues of the pre-existing process categories. In this way, we contribute to the field of process model management and quality assurance.
