The quality of a business process model is presumably highly dependent upon the modeling process that was followed to create it. Still, there is a lack of concepts to investigate this connection empirically. This paper introduces the formal concept of a phase diagram through which the modeling process can be analyzed, and a corresponding implementation to study a modeler's sequence of actions. In an experiment building on these assets, we observed a group of modelers engaging in the act of modeling. The collected data is used to demonstrate our approach for analyzing the process of process modeling. Additionally, we are presenting 􀀌rst insights and sketch requirements for future experiments.  \nKey words: business process modeling, modeling phase diagrams, process model quality, empirical research, modeling process  \n1 Introduction  \nConsidering the heavy usage of business process modeling in all types of business contexts, it is important to acknowledge both the relevance of process models and their associated quality issues. On the one hand, it has been shown that a good understanding of a process model has a positive impact on the success of a modeling initiative [1] . On the other hand, actual process models display a wide range of problems that impede upon their understandability [2] . Clearly, an in-depth understanding of the factors of process model quality is in demand.  \nThe quality of process models can be evaluated along a wide spectrum of properties, such as syntactic correctness or semantic accuracy [3] . Most research in the 􀀌eld puts a strong emphasis on the product or outcome of the process modeling act [4, 5] . For this category of research, the resulting model is the object of analysis. Many other works|instead of dealing with the quality of individual models|focus on the characteristics of modeling languages [6, 7] . However, these studies put less emphasis on the fact that model quality is presumably dependent  \n2 Jakob Pinggera et al.  \nupon the modeling process that was followed to create it. While there is work on micro-management of creating models [8], there is a notable research gap on how the process of process modeling can be analyzed quantitatively.  \nIn this paper, we address this speci􀀌c problem. In particular, we focus on the formalization phase in which a process modeler is faced with the challenge of constructing a syntactically correct model that re􀀍ects a given domain description (cf. [9]) . This appeals to one's ability to model [10], arguably the most important capability of a modeler according to its expected e􀀋ect on the quality of the ensuing model. The formalization of process models|which can be considered a process in itself |is crucial for obtaining a good modeling result and to overcome quality problems right from the start [2] .  \nGiven this context, we introduce an analysis technique called modeling phase diagram. The technique supposes to record all modeling activities throughout the creation of a process model in a log. Our technique classi􀀌es the recorded modeling activities according to cognitive research; the classi􀀌cation, in turn, allows to visualize and analyze the process of modeling itself in a diagram. The technique has been implemented in a graphical mode","cbCaikHNJ9VT46Uy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikHNJ9VT46Uy","pdf",514001,12,"English","# Introduction\n# Cognitive Foundations of the Process of Modeling\n## A Model of the Mind","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper address about process modeling quality?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses the lack of concepts to empirically investigate how the modeling process influences process model quality.\"},{\"question\":\"What is a modeling phase diagram and how is it used?\",\"answer\":\"Modeling phase diagrams classify logged modeling activities according to cognitive research and visualize/analyze the modeling process in a diagram.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the approach evaluated?\",\"answer\":\"The authors demonstrated feasibility by running a modeling session with graduate students, using the collected data to show how the process can be analyzed quantitatively.\"}]","Tracing the Process of Process Modeling with Modeling Phase Diagrams | PDF"]
