The most prominent Business Process Model Abstraction (BPMA) use case is a construction of a process “quick view” for rapidly comprehending a complex process. Researchers propose various process abstraction methods to aggregate the activities most of which are based on [Formula: see text]-means hard clustering. This paper focuses on the limitation of hard clustering, i.e. it cannot identify the special activities (called “edge activities” in this paper) and each activity must be classified to some subprocess. A new method is proposed to classify activities based on fuzzy clustering which generates a fuzzy matrix by computing the possibilities of activities belonging to subprocesses. According to this matrix, the “edge activities” can be located. Considering the structure correlation feature of the activities in subprocesses, an approach is provided to generate the initial clusters based on the close connection characteristics of subprocesses. A hard partition algorithm is proposed to classify the edge activities and it evaluates the generated abstract models according to a new index designed by control flow order preserving requirement and the evaluation results guide the edge activities to be classified to the optimal hard partition. The proposed method is applied to a process model repository in use. The results verify the validity of the measurement based on the virtual document to generating fuzzy matrix. Also it mines the threshold parameter in the real world process model collection enriched with human designed subprocesses to compute the fuzzy matrix. Furthermore, a comparison is made between the proposed method and the [Formula: see text]-means clustering and the results show our approach more closely approximating the decisions of the involved modelers to cluster activities and it contributes to the development of modeling support for effective process model abstraction.

For multi-target tracking system, aiming at solving the problem of low precision of state estimation caused by the data correlation ambiguity, the paper presents a novel multi-sensor multi-target adaptive tracking algorithm based on fuzzy clustering theory. Based on the joint probability data association algorithm, the new approach takes account of the case that whether the measure is validated and its possibility of belong to false alarm, and improves the correlation criterion of effective measurement with existing track on the basis of fuzzy clustering theory, which all perfect the update equation of target state estimation and the covariance. Meanwhile, with the adaptive distributed fusion processing structure, it enhance the robustness of the system and without prejudice to the real-time tracking. With the simulation case studies of radar/infrared sensor fusion multi-target tracking system, it verifies the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
