GoPoMoSA: A Goal-Oriented Process Modeling and Simulation Advisor

Authors: Xu Bai, LiGuo Huang, He Zhang and Alexander Egyed

This paper presents GoPoMoSA, a Goal-oriented Process Modeling and Simulation Advisor that semiautomatically discovers suitable Software Process Modeling and Simulation (SPMS) techniques for (inexperienced) process modelers to achieve their process modeling goals. GoPoMoSA
takes the goal-oriented modeling approach that captures the associations among Process Modeling Stakeholder goals and existing SPMS techniques via Relevant Process Elements modeled in the knowledge graphs. We evaluated the accuracy and feasibility of GoPoMoSA with data collected from 212
published SPMS literatures and a real-world process modeling and simulation case on requirements traceability. Our results show that GoPoMoSA (1) was able to nd suitable SPMS techniques based on stakeholder goals with an average of 85.38% accuracy; (2) helped novice process modelers
effectively and e ciently achieve their goals.
