  • 适合需要透明、可解释流程设计的工程团队使用。

大型语言模型(LLMs)已显著改变软件工程领域的任务范式。在业务流程管理中,人们正探索直接从文本描述生成流程模型的可能。现有方法包括由聊天机器人驱动的交互式建模系统,以及完全自动化的端到端建模助手。然而,我们认为流程建模本质上复杂,无法通过黑箱方案有效解决。因此,我们视建模为开放式的对话活动,最宜由人与LLM共同参与、迭代推进。本方法将建模任务分解为多个可管理的步骤,每步产生中间成果,并明确记录每个决策依据。过程中逐步揭示简单的行为关系,指导模型构建。鉴于当前LLMs在处理复杂依赖关系上的局限,我们引入领域内专有工具,基于行为关系结构化流程模型。这一混合方法生成了既正确又易理解的模型,且演化过程透明可解释。本文提出研究愿景,并介绍原型系统Pragmos,实现该理念。Pragmos展示了如何让大模型与人类用户作为领域和建模专家协同工作,通过结构化、可解释的流程共同创建演进的流程模型。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly transformed tasks across Software Engineering. In the context of Business Process Management, LLMs are now being explored as tools to derive process models directly from textual descriptions. Existing approaches range from chatbot-driven systems that assist with iterative, text-based modeling to fully automated end-to-end modeling assistants. However, we argue that process modeling is inherently complex and cannot be effectively addressed through black-box solutions. Instead, we envision modeling as an open-ended conversational activity, best supported by an interactive, iterative process involving both humans and LLM. In our approach, the modeling task is decomposed into smaller, manageable steps. Each step results in intermediate artifacts and explicitly documents the rationale behind each modeling decision. During this process, we incrementally uncover simple behavioral relations that guide the construction of the model. Given the current limitations of LLMs in reasoning about complex dependencies, we complement them with specialized tools developed in the field to structure process models based on behavioral relations. This hybrid approach enables the generation of sound, yet comprehensible models that evolve through transparent and explainable steps. In this paper, we present our research agenda and introduce Pragmos, a prototype system that operationalizes this vision. Pragmos demonstrates how LLMs can collaborate with human users as both domain and modeling experts to co-create evolving process models through a structured and explainable workflow.
