Abstract :
In spite of many advances in business process simulation technologies, their adoption by the business analyst community has been primarily limited to specialists. We propose a business process transformation wizard as a capability to bridge this gap. This enables analysts to explore different business process transformation options using business process transformation patterns and analyze their performance using quantitative technologies. In this paper, we explain the approach encapsulated in the BPT wizard and illustrate it with an example
