Abstract

Process models help organizations to visualize and optimize their activities, and achieve their business goals in a more efficient way. Modeling a business process requires exact information about possible execution sequences of the activities as well as process modeling notation knowledge. We present a method of business process composition based on the constraint programming technique. Taking task specifications as the input, our solution can generate a workflow log which can be used to discover the model using any process mining technique.
