Investigating the Collaborative Process of Process Modeling.

Abstract. Research on quality issues of business process models has recently begun to explore the process of creating process models. With growing complexity, the creation of business process models requires the presence of several, potentially spatially distributed stakeholders. As a consequence, the question arises how this affects the process of process modeling. This paper describes a thesis working on this question. More precisely, an infrastructure for recording and analyzing the collaborative process of process modeling is introduced and further used for investigating this process using empirical research methods. 1
