Beyond Control-Flow: Integrating the Resource Perspective into Multi-Collaborative Process Modeling from Text

- 用中间语言显式定义组织与角色,实现跨组织协作建模
- 在9个LLM上实验,资源识别准确率高且流程顺序质量保持良好
- 适合需要复杂协作建模的BPM系统开发者或企业数字化团队
流程建模是业务流程管理(BPM)的一个子领域,致力于将流程文档转化为形式化模型。传统方法高度依赖人工输入和领域知识,而大语言模型(LLMs)虽能自动化部分工作,但现有文本到模型的方法多聚焦于活动顺序(控制流),忽视了流程的协同特性。本文提出一种资源感知的生成管道,可从自然语言描述中生成正式的BPMN 2.0协作图。不同于直接生成原始XML,我们采用一种紧凑、可执行的中间语言,强制包含组织(池)与角色(泳道)等资源信息。跨组织依赖通过标准符号(消息事件)明确表达,同时采用正交布局算法自动处理元素在池与泳道内的空间排布。在十个业务流程上使用九个LLM进行实验,结果表明该方法在保持控制流质量的同时显著提升了资源发现能力,仅带来微小运行开销。该方法推动生成式建模向更全面、多协作的业务操作表达迈进。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Process modeling is a sub-domain of Business Process Management (BPM) focused on the translation of process artifacts into formal models. This task traditionally requires extensive human input and domain expertise in both BPM notations and the specific business context. While Large Language Models (LLMs) can now automate much of this manual work, current text-to-model approaches focus predominantly on the control-flow perspective-ordering activities without considering the collaborative aspect of the processes. In this paper, we introduce a resource-aware generation pipeline that produces formal BPMN 2.0 collaboration diagrams from natural-language descriptions. Rather than solely prompting an LLM for raw XML, we describe a compact, executable intermediate language with mandatory resource details defining both the organization (pool) and the role (lane). Cross-organization dependencies are materialized using the standard formal notation for such interactions-message events-while an orthogonal layout routine automatically handles the spatial arrangement of elements within pools and lanes. Experiments on ten business processes with nine LLMs show strong resource discovery while preserving control-flow quality and adding only marginal runtime overhead. This approach moves generative modeling toward a more comprehensive, multi-collaborative representation of business operations.
