Parallel Business Processes Modeling by G. N. Kalyanov

“…The relevance of the work is due to the need to reorganize business processes in order to improve a number of their key indicators, such as speed, cost, etc.It should be noted that the well-known models and methods of the modern theory of business processes practically do not address the issues of parallelism in them, although this direction occupies a significant place in the general theory of processes and, in addition to the actual methods of description, analysis and verification of parallel structures, also includes methods of parallelization of sequential structures.The paper proposes a classification of parallel business processes based on the types of parallel computing systems and completely covering the subject area under consideration. …”
