The Evaluation Criteria of Workflow Metamodels

This paper defines the evaluation framework of workflow metamodels, based on a list of evaluation criteria. The presented evaluation criteria combine domain specific evaluation approach and some of the existing quality metrics, defined in the field of software. Well established evaluation criteria of workflow metamodels should enable their comparison, selection and proper use of methods and tool built upon them. The final result is a list of nine categories of evaluation criteria, decomposed into more than forty subcategories, but the list of subcategories is extendable. The practical validation of proposed evaluation highlighted some topics for future research.
