I am offering topics focusing in Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS) for semester 2014/2015-1:
1. Mapping UML to Petri Net
2. Mapping BPMN to Petri Net
3. Study on label, structural and behavioral aspects in UML
4. Study on label, structural and behavioral aspects in BPMN
5. Study on label, structural and behavioral aspects in Petri Net
6. Labeled business process similarity checking
7. Structured business process similarity checking
8. Behavioral business process similarity checking
9. Process pattern
10. Process refactoring/redesign

The objectives of the research is to better understanding business process modeling notation for business process similarity checking. Therefore the offered topics consist of business process visual model, such as: BPMN, UML and Petri Net, properties using in business process similarity checking, process pattern and process redesign.

How to select a topic?
In this stage, I am reading related literature and try to draw a big picture of related research areas. So, It would be great if you can send me a proposal on a selected topic, and then we can have more interesting discussion. Please do not contact me if you have not read any related papers on the topic.
