Detecting approximate clones in business process model repositories
作者：
Highlights：
• Two strategies for standardizing approximate clones in process model collections.
• Two techniques for operationalizing the above strategies by retrieving clusters of approximate clones, for possible standardization and refactoring into shared subprocesses.
• A measure of cluster quality (benefit-to-cost ratio) intended to capture the potential standardizability of a cluster.
• A comprehensive evaluation of the techniques along performance, accuracy, perceived standardizability and perceived correctness by human subjects.
