Evaluation measures for business process models

Abstract

This work presents a set of measures to evaluate the structural complexity of business process models at a conceptual level, and also the general plan of a family of experiments whose aim is to validate the measures proposed. We believe that the early evaluation of business process models would provide business process management with support which would make their maintenance tasks easier. This proposal is based on the standard notation for business process modelling BPMN and on the adoption and extension of the FMESP framework.
