In-Depth Information
We also have to reflect on some limitations of our approach. We focus on
the control flow perspective and neglect data and resource assignments. We
foresee that our set algebraic approach may be extended in these directions. As
a starting point, the standard set theoretic operations may be applied to sets
of data artefacts and resources. However, operations that consider the interplay
between the perspectives (i.e., the intersection of data access constraints for a
certain role) can be assumed to provide even more value. Another restriction
is our assumption of elementary 1:1 correspondences between activities of two
behavioural profiles. Differences in the abstraction level are likely to be observed
in practice, in particular if models are created for different purposes (e.g., process
analysis vs. process design). In future work, we aim at lifting our approach to
the level of n:m correspondences between activities.
