Research article in edited proceedings (conference) | Peer reviewedAbstract
This paper examines parallels in version management between software engineering and process modelling. Best practices in software engineering version management, identified by a literature review, are discussed in the context of process modelling. Based on the results, a concept for version management in process modelling is derived. We present both a versioning approach for business process models as well as a XML storage format to serve as a foundation for an implementation of our approach. The versioning concept at hand is based on graph theory and strives to serve as a framework for future model versioning research and implementation in process modelling tools.
