Working with Natural Language Texts for Process Management: Proposal and Analysis of a Process Analysis Methodology

Published: 07 April 2016 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we present a method that describes what steps have to be performed in order to derive executable subject-oriented process models from natural language descriptions with the goal to simplify the information exchange between process practitioners and BPM experts. After laying down the necessary formal foundation and the proposed methodology itself, the methodology will be evaluted with a use-case scenario, taken from the area of energy management in electro mobility.
