Abstract
Structured business processes (SBPs) are now in enterprises the prominent solution to software development problems through orchestrating Web services. By their very nature, SBPs evolve through adding new or modifying existing functionalities. Those changes may deteriorate the process design and introduce process antipatterns—poor but recurring solutions that may degrade processes design quality and hinder their maintenance and evolution. However, to date, few solutions exist to detect such antipatterns to facilitate the maintenance and evolution and improve the quality of process design. We propose SODA-BP (Service Oriented Detection for Antipatterns in Business Processes), supported by a framework for specifying and detecting process antipatterns. To validate SODA-BP, we specify eight antipatterns and perform their detection on a set of randomly selected 35 SBPs form a corpus of more than 150 collected processes from an open-source search engine. Some of the SBPs were modified by adding, removing, or modifying process elements to introduce noise in them. Results shows that SODA-BP has an average detection precision of more than 75% and recall of 100%.
