    On the usability of business process modelling tools - a review and future research directions
    (Enterprise modelling and information systems architectures - EMISA 2014, 2014) Shitkova, Maria
    The choice of a business process modelling (BPM) tool in combination with the selection of a modelling language is one of the crucial steps in BPM project preparation. Different aspects influence the decision: tool functionality, price, modelling language support, etc. In this paper we discuss the aspect of usability, which has already been recognized as an important topic in software engineering and web design. We conduct a literature review to find out the current state of research on the usability in the BPM field. The results of the literature review show, that although a number of research papers mention the importance of usability for BPM tools, real usability evaluation studies have rarely been undertaken. Based on the results of the literature analysis, the possible research directions in the field of usability of BPM tools are suggested.

    Towards Auto-Suggested Process Modeling – Prototypical Development of an Auto-Suggest Component for Process Modeling Tools
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISA 2013), 2013) Clever, Nico; Holler, Justus; Shitkova, Maria; Becker, Jörg
    Companies have accepted process modeling as a powerful instrument for business reorganization, requirements specification in software development, knowledge management and other activities. Huge amounts of processes are being modeled in organizations nowadays. However, the re-use of existing process knowledge in order to simplify the modeling process has not yet been thoroughly studied and applied. We propose an auto-suggest component for process modeling tools, which, based on existing process knowledge, “auto-suggests” the process model elements step-by-step, thus saving the modeler time and effort.
