Abstract

At least one embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method and/or an apparatus for automatically providing a common modelling pattern as a function of a plurality of stored process models. The common modelling patterns are identified according to three substeps, namely semantic annotation, extraction of pattern based description and composite process pattern mining. The detected common modelling patterns serve as best practice candidates as regards process engineering. At least one embodiment of the present invention finds application in a variety of domains being related to process management, such as process design, process mining and semantic process planning.
