  • Publication number: 20090210465
    Abstract: A system to compare process sizes is described. In one example embodiment, the system comprises memory and one or more processing devices. The memory may be configured to store executable instructions. The one or more processing devices may be configured to execute the instructions. The instructions may cause the one or more processing devices to generate a first process that corresponds to an activity, generate data objects that correspond to the elements associated with the activity, and identify a number of data objects associated with the first process. The one or more processing devices may further obtain a reference size for the first process based on the number of data objects and compare the reference size for the first process with the reference size for another process.

  • Publication number: 20060064439
    Abstract: Comparing processes includes generating a first process that corresponds to an activity, the activity having associated elements and the first process including tasks, generating data objects that correspond to elements associated with the activity, identifying a number of data objects associated with the first process, obtaining a first reference size for the first process based on the number of data objects, and comparing the first reference size to a second reference size, the second reference size corresponding to a second process.
