The Impact of Secondary Notation on Process Model Understanding
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing
Preserved Fulltext
This paper proposes a set of propositions about the effects of the secondary notation, which entails layout, on process model comprehension. ...
Models of business processes are usually created and presented using some visual notation. ...
We try to neutralize the impact of the notation on an experiment by using the BPMN notation. ...

Our experiments showed significant increases by both groups in their understanding of the process from reading the textual model. ...
We compare the success of university students in interpreting business process descriptions, for an established graphical notation (BPMN) and for an alternative textual notation (based on written use-cases ...
For these reasons, we focus on the understandability of different process modelling notations here. ...

Our results suggest that highlighting risk and controls in business process modeling and notation (BPMN) by using color improves risk understanding, control understanding, and the identification of control ...
For practitioners, our findings are particularly relevant because colors can be easily added as a secondary notation element without disguising the factual risk situation in processes. ...
Benefits of such secondary notation result from additional visual cues that support understanding of the process model. ...

In this paper, we investigate whether the basic symbol sets in visual process modeling languages influence comprehension and cognitive load of process models. ...
Our results indicate that notational deficiencies concerning perceptual discriminability and semiotic clarity have measurable effects on comprehension, cognitive load, and the time needed to understand ...
Furthermore, the weak discriminability of the routing elements has a direct impact on the understanding of the behavior of a process model. ...

Our results inform important principles about notational design of process modeling grammars and the effective use of process modeling in practice. ...
Process modeling grammars are used to create models of business processes. In this paper, we discuss how different routing symbol designs affect an individual's ability to comprehend process models. ...
Still, the research to date has focused on the secondary notation of models as a whole as opposed to the secondary notation of specific model elementssuch as routing symbols, which is the focus of our ...
