Abstract

An algorithm is proposed that makes it possible to uniquely transform an event-driven model of business processes in the ARIS EPC format into a monochrome Petri net. The resulting matrix representation of a Petri net makes it possible to study the topology of business processes and find cycles and dead ends. In addition, the matrix representation of a Petri net makes it possible to find net invariants and thus to find all the variants of the development of business processes.
