    Business Process Simulation on Procedural Graphical Process Models
    (Business & Information Systems Engineering: Vol. 63, No. 5, 2021) Rosenthal, Kristina; Ternes, Benjamin; Strecker, Stefan
    Business process simulation marks an essential technique for analyzing business processes and for reasoning about process improvement. With first contributions dating back to the mid-1990s, computerized business process simulation has been a continuing research focus and is widely acknowledged as foundational to Business Process Management research and practice. Reviewing contributions to the field published between 1990 and 2018, the authors assess the state of research on business process simulation and develop an organizing overview of research contributions discussing simulation approaches, tool support, results visualization, use context, application purposes, and adoption barriers. Findings inform future research on business process simulation by discussing paths for behavioral research on the use of business process simulation, user requirements, and adoption barriers as well as complementary paths for design science research addressing limitations of present approaches and simulation tool support.

    Understanding individual processes of conceptual modeling: A multi-modal observation and data generation approach
    (Modellierung 2020, 2020) Rosenthal, Kristina; Ternes, Benjamin; Strecker, Stefan
    How conceptual modeling is performed by modelers, how modeling processes proceed, which modeling difficulties modelers face and why, and how to overcome these difficulties by tailored modeling support has received limited attention in conceptual modeling research so far. Studying individual modeling processes by observing modelers during conceptual modeling contributes to identifying modeling difficulties, and to understand whether modelers require tailored modeling support. Based on TOOL, a modeling tool and research observatory for studying modeling processes, we design a multi-modal observation and data generation approach and report its application to exploratory studies of individual modeling processes, and show how complementary modes of observation are integrated during data analysis for a richer and more complete understanding of modeling processes. Moreover, we discuss how the multi-modality of observations contributes to understanding modeling processes and modeling difficulties, and how observations during modeling feed back into the software development of TOOL.

    A web-based modeling tool for studying the learning of conceptual modeling
    (Modellierung 2018, 2018) Ternes, Benjamin; Strecker,Stefan
    How do we learn conceptual modeling? What are common learning difficulties? Which tool support assists learners in what respect? We report on the design and development of a web-based modeling tool aimed at studying the learning of conceptual modeling by observing learner interactions with graphical model editors. Learner interactions with graphical model editors are tracked, recorded and analyzed at the individual and aggregate learner levels with support for graphically reproducing the learner-editor interactions over time. In this short paper, we report on the current state of the tool development.
