Abstract: Systems and methods can support crowd-sourcing business process specifications within a process discovery system. A proposed process may be received from a process owner. The initial process may be published to one or more process participants. Isolation layers can be established comprising working copies of the initial process. Each working copy may be associated with one or more of the process participants. Social activity may be received from the participants. This activity may include modifications, markups, or comments to the working copies of the process. One or more relevant social groups of participants may be discovered. Process elements associated with increased levels of social activity may be indicated using heat maps. Notifications of process events may be pushed to participants. The process owner may selectively merge process modifications from the participants into a crowd-sourced business process specification, which can inform a development team implementing the business process.
