Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper considers the software-based analysis of business process model size and complexity using the network connectivity measurement approach. Business process modeling is a key tool in business process management, software engineering, and information systems management. Business process models that are likely to have errors, may cause extra costs, time losses, or even more harmful impact on activities. Therefore, in this study we propose to improve the size and complexity efficiency of business process models based on their structural analysis using the Coefficient of Network Connectivity (CNC) measurement. The respective software tool is developed to calculate the CNC measure, determine quartile values and corresponding thresholds to classify business process models by their structural efficiency.
