Business strategy modeling performs an immense position within the administration of commercial methods. As worthwhile layout artifacts, enterprise method types are topic to caliber concerns. The absence of formal blunders equivalent to deadlocks is of paramount significance for the next implementation of the process.

In his booklet Jan Mendling develops a framework for the detection of formal blunders in company method types and the prediction of errors likelihood according to caliber attributes of those versions (metrics). He provides an actual description of Event-driven procedure Chains (EPCs), their control-flow semantics and an appropriate correctness criterion referred to as EPC soundness.

Sample text

7. Process interfaces have one incoming or one outgoing arc, but not both. ∀p ∈ P : (|•p| = 1 ∧ |p•| = 0) ∨ (|•p| = 0 ∧ |p•| = 1). This implies that Ps and Pe partition P . 8. Connectors have one incoming and multiple outgoing arcs or multiple incoming and one outgoing arc. ∀c ∈ C : (|•c| = 1 ∧ |c•| > 1) ∨ (|•c| > 1 ∧ |c•| = 1). This implies that J and S partition C. 9. Events must have function, process interface, or fe-connector nodes in the preset, and function, process interface, or ef-connector nodes in the postset.

Please note that we first discuss only standard control flow elements. 3. 1 Approaches to EPC Syntax Formalization In Langner, Schneider, and Wehler [236, 238], the authors provide a graph-based formalization of EPC syntax distinguishing four types of nodes: function, event, connector and process interface. Arcs connect elements of these four node types in such a way that the EPC is a simple, directed and coherent graph. The authors define the following constraints: There are no arcs between elements of the same type; the cardinality of predecessor and successor sets is less or exactly one for events and exactly one for functions and process interfaces; and the border of the EPC graph consists of event type elements only.

7 (Syntactically Correct EPC). An EP C = (E, F, P, C, l, A) is called syntactically correct, if it fulfills the requirements: 1. EP C is a simple, directed, coherent, and antisymmetric graph such that ∀n ∈ N : ∃e1 ∈ Es , e2 ∈ Ee such that e1 → n → ee . c c 2. e. ∀a, b ∈ C : if a = b and a → b, then ∃b → a. 3. |Es ∪ Ps | ≥ 1 ∧ |Ee ∪ Pe | ≥ 1. There is at least one start node and one end node in an EPC. 4. |F | ≥ 1. There is at least one function in an EPC. 5. Events have at most one incoming and one outgoing arc.
