Comparison of wiki-based process modeling systems

Published: 07 September 2011 Publication History

Abstract

As traditional process elicitation methods are expensive and time consuming, a trend toward collaborative, user-centric, on-line business process modeling can be observed. A common proposal in this area is the use of a semantic wiki-based light-weight knowledge capturing tool for collaborative process development. Although different frameworks have been proposed, nobody has compared the systems against existing requirements for collaborative maturing of processes. To address this issue we provide a comparison framework on the basis of these rewquierments, which we used to compare existing approaches.
