Abstract

The goal of the research presented in this thesis is to analyze opportunities to semi-automate process model extraction and to propose a method for extracting structured process models from unstructured textual narratives. Given a textual description of a process in natural language (English), the method is expected to generate a structured process model, which can be visually represented as a diagram.

The crux of the proposed method is a set of patterns designed to identify and to extract process elements (i.e. activities, actors, artifacts) and relationships between them (specifically control flow relations). The elements and relationships captured in this way are represented using a simple meta-model for structured process models. From the resulting process models, it becomes straightforward to generate diagrams in any suitable notation (e.g. in BPMN or UML Activity Diagrams).
