Abstract
Reuse of business process models is the act of designing business processes by using existing process models. Reuse of business process models has been considered as a way to reduce the cost of modeling business processes from scratch. In order to support reuse of process models, a critical mass of process models is required which justifies the effort of maintaining a process model repository. While there are several process modeling languages, no single language is widely accepted. So in order to make process models usable, the stored process models must be presented in a language understandable by users. The purpose of this work is to apply multi-criteria decision making to choose process representation format for a process model repository.
