Complexity of Constructing FSM Model of Artifact Lifecycle

Artifact consists of information model and lifecycle. Artifact lifecycle defined by the business departments according to business rules and other relative constraints are used for business's compliance checks and process's real-time monitoring, so how to construct artifact lifecycle model is crucial, it can be used to judge the violations in the business process. In this paper, we adopt FSM (Finite-State-Machine) to model artifact lifecycle. We explore the complexity of constructing FSM model of artifact lifecycle discovered in data consisting of artifact instances and service. Then we discuss how to improve the efficiency of it, which lay a theoretical foundation for business compliance checks and process real-time monitoring automation.
