Selection of Business Process for Autonomic Automation

Autonomic automation is viewed as a new approach to business process automation. In this work, we propose a method to identify the best-suited business processes as candidates for an autonomic automation. Generally, this decision is made by process automation experts or inspired by management preferences. Moreover, the best candidate to an autonomic automation is possibly different from a candidate to a traditional automation. To support our method we developed a tool with ability to inspect the process model and obtain specific metrics. Finally, we present the results of the proposed selection method, compared with expert choices and to existent methods for traditional automation selection.
