Abstract. Enterprises are facing increasingly complex business pro-
cesses. Engineering processes in the automotive domain, for example,
may comprise hundreds or thousands of process tasks. In such a scenario,
existing modeling notations do not always allow for a user-friendly pro-
cess visualization. In turn, this hampers the comprehensibility of business
processes, especially for non-experienced process participants. This paper
tackles this challenge by suggesting alternative ways of visualizing large
and complex process models. A controlled experiment with 22 subjects
provides first insights into how users perceive these approaches.
Key words: process visualization, user experiment, visual design
1 Introduction
Enterprises are facing increasingly complex business processes [1]. Engineering
processes in the automotive domain [2], for example, may comprise hundreds or
thousands of process tasks.
Consider Figure 1 showing a BPMN model of a (simplified) requirements
engineering process from the automotive domain. Note that the example only
serves for illustration purposes. The process involves roles E/E Development
(R1), Component Responsible (R2), Expert (R3), Project Responsible (R4), and
Decision Maker (R5). It further comprises 9 tasks (T1-T9), related to the prepa-
ration, writing and validation of a requirements specification, and 12 data ob-
jects (D1-D12) associated with them. Even this simplified process model reveals
significant weaknesses regarding its visualization:
Positioning of data objects: Usually, data objects are positioned right next
to process tasks or between them [3]. However, such positioning might mislead

users; e.g., D7 is positioned within swimlane R3 although D7 is not related
to R3. Note that D7 is only linked to T3 and T4 contained in R2.
Data object relations: Data objects can be related with more than one
process task. In turn, this might lead to “long distance” data relations (i.e.,
dotted arrows) decreasing model comprehensibility [4]. For example, D8 is
related to five process tasks, resulting in five data relations.
Intersections: Sequence and data flows might overlap. Furthermore, data
objects and process tasks may be overlapped by data relations (see D11 in
Fig. 1). In general, such intersections affect the model’s comprehensibility [5].
Regarding large process models, these drawbacks might significantly affect
a model’s comprehensibility [5] and aesthetic appearance [6]. To remedy this
drawback, this paper presents four different concepts aiming at a user-friendly
visualization of process models. Section 2 discusses requirements for visualizing
process models. Section 3 then presents four visualization concepts and Section
4 related results from a controlled experiment. Section 5 discusses related work
and Section 6 concludes the paper with a summary.
2 Requirements
This section summarizes major requirements regarding the comprehensibility as
well as aesthetic appearance of process models. These requirements were derived
in the context of two case studies in the automotive and healthcare domain [7, 8].
Their generalizability was confirmed by a literature study [9]. Finally, Table 1
summarizes the derived requirements.
2.1 Process Model Comprehensibility
Process model comprehensibility is crucial with respect to the quality of pro-
cess models [5]. Important factors influencing the comprehensibility of process
Enabling a User-Friendly Visualization of Business Process Models 3
models include its size as well as the degree of sequentiality, concurrency, den-
sity, and structure [10, 11]. Concerning large and complex process models, two
requirements are particularly relevant.
Sequence Flow: The sequence flow determines the order of process tasks in a
process model and should be visualized in a comprehensible manner.
Clarity: Users should be able to get a quick overview of a process model. In
particular, its visualization should enhance the clarity of process models.
2.2 Aesthetic Appearance
Humans are confronted with a continuously growing amount of visual infor-
mation and, therefore, tend to become more intolerant to non-aesthetic one.
Hence, aesthetic appearance significantly influences the acceptance of user in-
terfaces [12]. Our case studies and literature study confirm the importance of
aesthetic process model visualizations, especially with respect to two issues:
Interest: To increase their aesthetic appearance, process models must be visu-
alized in an interesting manner as humans are more attracted to visualizations
being different from what they already know [13].
Stimulation: People always grasp at developing personal knowledge and skills
[13]. The aesthetic appearance of process models should stimulate these goals.
2.3 Further Requirements
Simplicity: The complexity of a process model has a significant negative in-
fluence on its comprehensibility [10] as well as its aesthetic appearance [12].
Therefore, the visualization of process models must be intuitive and simple.
Appeal: The graphical representation of a process model should support the
user’s perception of the entire process. In particular, users should feel comfortable
when working with process models in order to foster their willingness to reuse
the models later on [13]. To achieve this goal, the visualization of process models
should be appealing.
Structure: Mendling et al. [5] state that small variations in process mod-
els might lead to significant differences in respect to their comprehensibility.
Amongst others, the structuring of a process model was identified as a factor
positively influencing comprehensibility and aesthetic appearance [6].

3 Process Visualization Concepts
This section presents and discusses different concepts for visualizing process
models: the Bubble,BPMN3D,Network, and Thin Line concepts [14]. In order
to ensure same conditions and foster readability, the visualization concepts are
presented along an abstract process model (cf. Fig. 2) including nine tasks (A-I).
Due to space limitations, this process model is rather simple. In our evaluation
(cf. Sec. 4), participants deal with models of different sizes and complexity.

3.1 Bubble Visualization Concept
The first visualization concept, called Bubble, does not use common shapes like
rectangles and hexagons. Instead, it is inspired by a node-oriented network rep-
resentation. Figure 3 shows Bubble as applied to our running example. Unit-size
circles are used to represent process tasks in an appealing, but simple manner
(Req #6). In particular, circles are graphically better distinguishable from rect-
angular document icons representing data objects [6]. Thus, data objects can
be easier identified in the process model providing a better overview (Req #2)
and structure (Req #7). In turn, data objects are presented using document
Enabling a User-Friendly Visualization of Business Process Models 5
icons. Arrows are used to model both the sequence and data flow (Req #1).
The concept uses symbols for gateways and events that are similar to the ones
known from BPMN. Task labels are added to the task’s edge. Finally, additional
information may be accessed using the plus and gearwheel buttons, e.g., to detail
task descriptions.
Fig. 3. Bubble visualization concept.
3.2 BPMN3D Visualization Concept
BPMN3D aims to use standard BPMN elements, but “outsources” the visualiza-
tion of data objects into a third dimension (cf. Fig. 4). This concept is inspired by
already existing approaches, e.g., provided in [15]. In particular, process tasks,
events and sequence flows are represented through common BPMN elements on
a common two-dimensional plain, whereas the presentation of data objects re-
quires a third dimension. More precisely, BPMN3D extends every process task
with a pole, pointing to the third dimension, which is then mapped to the 2-
dimensional visualization. Data objects are aligned to these poles in terms of
circles. In turn, icons indicate the type of the data objects (e.g., pdf files, office
files, images). Applying this concept, data objects appear to be more indepen-
dent from the actual sequence flow. This improves the structure of the process
model (Req #7) and its overview (Req #2).
3.3 Network Visualization Concept
Like Bubble, the Network concept constitutes a network representation (cf. Fig.
5) (cf. Reqs #3 and #4). Each process task is represented through a node and
comprises a small, centered circle (called core) as well as the galaxy. The latter
offers space for references, which may be used to connect a node to other nodes,
data objects, or roles. To reduce complexity of the visualized process as well as
mental load of the user, this concept focuses on single process tasks, i.e., single
nodes. Only one node is dynamically emphasized as shown in Fig. 5 (Task E in
6 M. Hipp et al.
Fig. 4. BPMN3D visualization concept.
the example). Other nodes and corresponding references, data objects and roles
are greyed out. Network provides a new way of visualizing process models (Req
#8).
Fig. 5. Network visualization concept.
3.4 Thin Line Visualization Concept
The goal of Thin Line is to better structure the information displayed. The basic
idea is to separate process tasks and sequence flows from data objects. This
increases the overview of the process model and facilitates its comprehensibility
(cf. Req #2 and Req #7). On one hand, users can focus on the sequence flow
of the model. On the other, data objects are easily accessible in an explicit
area below the sequence flow visualization (cf. Fig. 6). This approach can be
considered as a minimalistic one with respect to process visualization. Both
process tasks and sequence flow are represented through arrows, which results
in a significant reduction of the amount of information displayed (Req #5). The
title of a process task is displayed on top of each arrow. Further, additional
elements for gateways and events are introduced. Finally, vertical lines guide
the user to the area the related data objects are displayed. Table 2 shows the
requirements addressed by each of the four visualization concepts.

4 Evaluation
We evaluate the four visualization concepts through a controlled experiment in-
volving 22 subjects; 9 of them are students, 5 are working in academics, and 8
subjects stem from industry. In the experiment, all four visualization concepts
are presented along various process models of different complexity. A question-
naire is then used to collect data about the perception of the concepts. Part 1
of this questionnaire comprises questions concerning the subjects’ modeling ex-
perience. In part 2 the subjects must rate each concept with respect to different
variables using a five step Likert-scale. Possible answers range from “I totally
agree (5)” to “I totally disagree(1)”. Finally, in part 3 subjects must evaluate
each concept with an overall rating between 0 and 10. Table 3 summarizes the
evaluated variables, which are derived from the presented requirements.

4.1 Comprehensibility
BPMN3D is perceived as the most comprehensible concept (mean = 4.14; std
dev =.834) with p= 0.0472(cf. Fig. 7a), followed by Bubble (3.64/.790) and
Thin Line (3.36/1.177). With (2.00/.926), Network performs worst. According
to [5], this result is traceable since BPMN3D is most similar to BPMN. In turn,
Network introduces new ideas to visualize process models.

Concerning the sequence flow (cf. Fig. 7b), again, BPMN3D is perceived as
most comprehensible (4.59/.590) with p= 0.012. In turn, Bubble is rated with
(3.91/1.065), followed by Thin Line (3.36/1.497) and Network (1.68/.945).
The clarity of the visualization concepts shows similar results (cf. Fig. 7c).
Again, BPMN3D obtains significantly better ratings (4.05/.090) with p= 0.011
compared to Bubble (3.18/1.053) and Thin Line (3.18/1.181). Finally, Network
(2.09/1.921) performs worst.
Altogether, BPMN3D is rated significantly better than the other concepts.
The ratings for comprehensibility (p= 0.047), sequence flow (p= 0.012),
and clarity (p= 0.011) are significant. Thus, process models visualized with
BPMN3D are perceived as significantly better comprehensible.
4.2 Aesthetic Appearance
Interestingly, Bubble is perceived as the most interesting concept (4.14/.834),
although the difference to the other concepts is not significant with p= 0.109
(cf. Fig. 8a). BPMN3D receives the second highest rating (3.73/.827). Whether
a visualization concept stimulates the subjects has been answered with simi-
lar ratings (cf. Fig. 8b). Our evaluation with respect to aesthetic appearance,
therefore, does not allow for general conclusions.
4.3 Other Variables
As can be seen in Figure 9a, BPMN3D is perceived as the most simple concept
(4.0/.873) with p= 0.090, followed by Bubble (3.55/.858). Concerning appeal,

BPMN3D is also perceived as the best structured concept (4.41/.734) (cf. Fig.

4.5 Discussion
Experimental results underline that the subject’s expertise might influence their
opinion; e.g., [5] confirms that the amount of theoretical modeling knowledge
influences the comprehensibility of process models. As Bubble also uses BPMN-
like structures, its second highest overall rating fosters this assumption. Note that
this paper focuses on visualization aspects, whereas interaction methods, which
might also influence the comprehensibility of process models, are not discussed3.
Visualization concepts for process models should combine well-known elements
and structures from process model notations with few new ideas.
Our experiment further shows that distinguishing process tasks from data
objects increases the comprehensibility of process models. BPMN3D, for exam-
ple, uses a third dimension to visualize data objects. In turn, Thin Line displays
process tasks and data objects in different areas. Finally, Bubble uses different
visualizations for process tasks and data objects. All three concepts are consid-
ered being well comprehensible.
To improve the internal validity of the experiment, the visualization concepts
are presented the same way. All concepts are applied to the same process model,
i.e., the resulting visualizations present the same amount of information. In par-
ticular, the visualization itself is the only varying factor. Finally, to all subjects,
all visualization concepts are introduced in the same way. Regarding external
validity, the chosen process model might be too small. Further, the fact that all
subjects are experienced with BPMN might have influenced results.
5 Related Work
Personalized views on business processes are provided, for example, in [17, 18, 19]
based on abstraction and reduction techniques. In turn, [20] presents a visual-
ization concept facilitating the management of large business process models

Enabling a User-Friendly Visualization of Business Process Models 11
through views with reduced complexity. All these approaches focus on technical
issues, whereas issues related to the graphical representation of process artifacts
(e.g., process tasks or data objects) are factored out. Various visualization con-
cepts are provided in [21], which focus on visualizing traffic in process models,
whereas [22] presents visualization concepts for time-aware process models. Fi-
nally, niPRO enables advanced interactions based on a sophisticated navigation
concept [16, 23, 24]. The 3D visualization of process models is addressed by
[25] and [26], which enable collaborative process modeling in a 3D environment
based on 3D avatars. In turn, [27] and [28] pick up a 2D process visualization
as a starting point and derive a 3D visualization from it. Note that we applied
this idea in the context of BPMN3D as well. Finally, [29] make use of process
hierarchies to visualize complex process models on a small canvas, facilitating
the presentation of information on different semantic levels.
6 Summary and Outlook
Enterprises use process model notations for visualizing business processes. How-
ever, visualizations like BPMN tend to be not user-friendly, especially when
process models become large and complex. This paper presented novel visual-
ization ideas focusing on comprehensibility and aesthetic appearance of process
models. We further evaluated these concepts in a controlled experiment. Results
show that BPMN3D is considered being the most appealing visualization con-
cept, since it combines well-known elements from BPMN with fresh ideas (e.g., a
third dimension for data-objects). In future work, we will refine our visualization
concepts and apply them in case studies in the automotive domain.
