Optimizing for ArtiFlow and Transform ArtiFlow to ServiceFlow

The optimization of business workflow is a key issue in artifact-centric BPM area. In this paper, we choose ArtiFlow as business process model, and stress discuss the method of optimization. ArtiFlow approach allows a business to make the key data in their process visible, however, in practice this may lead to the design of services that act upon on potentially redundant data and services. To reduce redundancy and re-organize the services flows, firstly, we present some rules and strategies used to optimize ArtiFlow models, in which Service Flow model is introduced. Secondly, we proposed an artifact-centric Petri net analysis method to get the complete services path, and then the activities tree algorithm and the instance are presented.
