Integration of business process models into an internal knowledge management system
Tasks
In many companies, recurring processes are recorded as business processes. In addition to the simple logging of such processes in written form, various graphical representations have evolved as standards with which such processes can be modeled in a concise and easily comprehensible style, such as Petri nets or BPMN 2.0, which can be created and maintained in tools for business process modeling.
In addition to modeling business processes, various knowledge management platforms have also become established, such as Atlassian Confluence or Microsoft Sharepoint, in which corporate knowledge is simultaneously recorded and maintained.
While modeling tools are vital when it comes to creating process models, from the consumer’s point of view, the knowledge management systems mentioned above are used to the greatest extent possible, which means that business processes are neglected. Ideally, these systems should work in concert to provide consumers with high-quality process models along with structured and in-depth knowledge.
As part of a final thesis, the aim is to investigate how a process management tool and platforms for internal organizational knowledge management can be meaningfully linked to enable the smooth interaction of model creation and knowledge usage based on the models created.

Comparison of modeling and modularization approaches: BPMN vs. Petri net
Tasks
Business processes in companies are becoming increasingly complex and must be adaptable to constantly changing conditions. This complexity is also reflected in companies’ process models and can be partly mapped with the help of digital twins of corporate organizations (DTOs). Various notations, which are often based on Petri nets, EPCs or BPMN 2.0, are generally suitable for modeling such a DTO. All these notations offer concepts for modularization [1]. Based on an eye-tracking study conducted in cooperation with the University of St. Gallen, the comprehensibility of such models based on BPMN 2.0 with artifacts was examined in a previous study. The comprehensibility of models was examined based on more than 40 participants.
As part of a final thesis, the comprehensibility of hierarchical modeling approaches is to be investigated based on an eye-tracking study. The approaches to be compared are BPMN and Petri nets.
Tasks of the thesis:
- Creation of a representative BPMN and hierarchical Petri net with the same content as a basis for comparison
- Definition of measurement and evaluation criteria for examining the comprehensibility of modeling notations in an empirical study
- Creation of technical means for carrying out such a comparison in practice and with justifiable effort
- Execution of the empirical comparison with representative user groups
- Evaluation of the results and attempt at a classification/an assessment

Three-dimensional visualization of relationships in a Digital Twin of an Organization
Tasks
A digital twin of an organization (DTO) is a comprehensive digital representation of a company that contains multiple relationships between individual model elements (process steps, roles, employees, systems, business objects, etc.).
As part of the final thesis, concepts and/or prototypes are to be developed for the implementation of a clear visualization of these extensive relationships (possibly including the use of virtual reality).

Integration of business process models with business object models

Agile business process-related requirements management
Tasks
As part of a final thesis, a concept and a prototype for agile business process-related requirements management are to be developed. This means that requirements can not only be captured, but also assigned to business process models to establish a corresponding reference. Modern approaches for capturing requirements, such as user stories, are to be examined, evaluated, and embedded in the business process management tool for its agile use in later projects.
