This tutorial will discuss the challenges that arise both in respect to the handling of large process models (i.e., large process model trees or complex inter-related process structures) as well as to the management of large collections of process models with related process variants. As a motivational backbone, large process models and process model collections from the automotive industry and the healthcare domain will be presented.
The tutorial is given by Barbara Weber, Manfred Reichert & Victoria Torres Bosch. Some information about Barbara and Victoria is provided below:
