Performance Analysis of Business Process Instances Based on Method for Tracing Reachable Subnets
Yang Hai-yan · Journal of Chinese Computer Systems · 2010
Time performance of business process instances is important basis for real time business process management and scheduling.The reachable subnets of business process instances continually change in accordance with progressing of instances,in which activities are in states such as completed,executing or waiting respectively,and performance of instances can be analyzed merely based on it.Firstly,a performance equivalent model for waiting and executing activities was proposed,subsequently,the concept of potential instance subgraph set was proposed to trace the dynamic change of reachable subnet of business process instances,and the complex problem of performance analysis for business process instances was decomposed to simpler ones for potential instance subgraph.Lastly,an example was given to demonstrate the process of performance analysis for business process instances.
