Process-based compliance: Probabilities

Abstract

In the paper at hand compliance in the context of business process modeling is discussed. The approach suggested is a contribution to the topic `compliance by design'. The focus of this compliance approach is on the development of quantitative compliance indicators in order to evaluate the fit of the business process model to compliance parameters. The calculation of these indicators contributes to optimize business process models regarding their compliance design. The calculation algorithm of the compliance indicators reverts to existing simulation algorithms. Finally, first steps towards the development of such compliance indicators are presented in the later part of the paper.
