BUSINESS PROCESS MODEL COMPARISON METHOD, AND DEVICE AND PROGRAM THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine difference of how to advance a processing in business without being affected by graphical agreement/disagreement of graph structures when comparing graph structures that graphically represent business process models to clarify difference between the business process models.;SOLUTION: A transition information preparing part 6 prepares transition information about processings between two business process models and transition between the processings on the basis of graph structures corresponding to the two business process models to be compared, a transition information comparing part 7 specifies difference between processings and difference in transition between the processings by comparing transition information corresponding to the two business process models to be compared to make the difference comparison results of the transition information, a graph structure component comparing part 8 obtains the degree of coincidence among components other than processings among components in the graph structure corresponding to the two business process models to be compared on the basis of the difference in transition between the processings in the comparison results of the transition information, and makes the degree of coincident comparison results of the components of the graph structures.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
