Abstract
This work presents an auto-completion mechanism for supporting the creation of executable business process models. Currently, process modeling tools provide only little support to identify the relevant services that are needed to execute the process model – the selection of appropriate services is left to the skills of the modeler. A novel solution technique for this problem is proposed here as the combination of (1) a context-based analysis, (2) by taking pre and post-conditions into account, and by (3) evaluating the non-functional properties of the functionally and context-wise fitting services.
