Collaborative business process modeling is a collective activity where team members jointly discuss, design, and document business processes. During such activities, team members need to communicate with each other to coordinate the modeling activities, propose and justify changes, and negotiate common terms and definitions. Throughout this process, stakeholders should be aware of when and what kind of changes have been made by each team member on the shared space so that they can discuss design ideas and build on each other's work. Joint visual attention has a fundamental role in establishing and maintaining common ground among interlocutors in such cooperative work settings. In addition to this, the co-constructed model's quality is often considered a key evaluation outcome measure to assess the success of collaboration. However, process and outcome measures of collaboration have been prone to difficulties due to challenges in devising measures that can adequately capture the complex dynamics of collaborative work. This study explored the relationship between a popularly used outcome measure in the business process modeling literature and a process measure approximating the level of joint visual attention present among the participants based on the degree of gaze cross-recurrence among the team members over a shared task space. The results suggest that joint visual attention as operationalized in terms of gaze cross-recurrence was a strong predictor of the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic qualities of collaboratively produced business process models. Moreover, the collaboration process was subjected to qualitative analysis to probe further into the interactional organization of the modeling activity, which identified communication, coordination, awareness, group decision making, and motivation dimensions as key factors contributing to the quality of collaboration among group members. The results indicated strong relationships between the distribution of quality factors and the degree of gaze cross-recurrence and the final models' syntactic and semantic quality scores. Given the increasing availability of affordable eye trackers and the low resolution, practical nature of the employed analysis methodology, the proposed approach can be fruitfully employed to evaluate team performance and test the effectiveness of software interfaces designed to support collaborative work.

Unified Process Modeling with UPROM Tool
Aysolmaz, Banu; Demirörs, Onur (2014-06-20)
UPROM tool is a business process modeling tool designed to conduct business process and user requirements analysis in an integrated way to constitute a basis for process automation. Usually, business process models are not utilized systematically to develop related artifacts, specifically when a process-aware information system is to be developed to automate those processes. This results in completeness, consistency and maintainability problems for those artifacts. Unified business process modeling methodol...
A Comparison of Process Ontology Discovery from Organizational Guidelines in Two Different Languages
Gurbuz, Ozge; Demirörs, Onur (2017-09-01)
Process ontologies contain organization's process elements which are related to the business activities, in a structured format. Once organizations establish process ontologies, searching process information as well as discovery, modeling and automation become more efficient. Process ontologies are frequently developed from organizational resources such as guidelines, regulations and procedures by interpreting the document, discovering the process information and building the ontology. The studies depict th...
A Comparative Evaluation of Two Computer SupportedCollaborative Work Systems for Supporting Collaborative BusinessProcess Modeling Activities
Fındık Coşkunçay, Duygu; Çakır, Murat Perit (2018-10-01)
In this study, a comparative evaluation of different Computer-Supported Collaborative Work CSCW environments was conducted to reveal their constraints and affordances for supporting synchronous collaborative business process modeling cBPM activities online. For this purpose, two case studies were carried out with two CSCW systems that differ in terms of their interaction design features for supporting joint work. The dual-eye tracking method was employed to monitor how the participants focused their attenti...
A Taxonomy for Personal Processes: Results from a Semi-structured Interview
Oruç, Sercan; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Koçyiğit, Altan; Yeralan, Sencer (2019-01-01)
There are few studies conducted on personal processes within the Business Process Management (BPM) domain. Personal processes are looser and more context- and person-dependent compared to the clearly defined business processes. This makes it more challenging to create solutions in this domain. In this study, a taxonomy is developed for personal processes. We used the data collected from semi-structured interviews that we have conducted with a diverse population. We built a taxonomy with 4 classes and 22 sub...
An approach for decentralized process modeling
Turetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur (2007-05-20)
This paper describes a method for organizations to perform process modeling in a decentralized and concurrent manner. The approach is based on the idea that modeling organizations' processes can be performed by individuals actually performing the processes. Instead of having a central and devoted group of people to analyze, understand, model and improve processes, real performers are held responsible to model and improve their own processes concurrently. The paper also summarizes the lessons learned by appl...
