This characteristic allows for a better understanding of: the dynamics of the company, and the relationships that are given inside it and with its environment. Therefore, it is the best technique to align the development with the organization's goals. In this context, the role of modeling languages in the Business Processes specification is fundamental. Choosing the most appropriate language for specifying the company processes is an important and critical decision. This is because the models help to improve its performance and evolution avoiding many risk factors. In this paper, an evaluation strategy of business process modeling languages based in LSP is proposed. The main goal is to provide companies with a framework for the selection of the best business process modeling languages.

It provides ways to implement the processes and provides functionalities to control and modify their workflows. A very useful tool to achieve this control is a set of process models, as they supply a description of the process structure and complexity. Considering the importance of Business Processes models, the use of metrics may be the key to obtain high quality models that are useful as support to improve the processes maintenance, updating and adaptation. Based on metamodels of the BPDM standard, a proposal of metrics for Business Processes models is submitted; these metrics are specified in OCL and their application results are outlined in a study case.

As a result, organizations are searching for tools like Business Process Management (BPM) using Business Process Management System (BPMS). The Workflow Management System (WfMS) is the most significant BPMS that is used to automatically improve the business process. Organizations require virtual business process on the Internet through cloud computing. WfMS provides computational support to define, synchronize and execute activities using workflows. There are many desirable operational aspects to implement workflow technology, such as task sequence, control and monitoring mechanisms. Workflow allows automation of different aspects of the information flow, for example: address the work in the correct sequence, provide data and document access, and manage the executable condition of the process. Thus Internet conceptual model in the cloud becomes workflow technology by transforming: a) actions into activities or sub process, b) information into data between activities, and c) actors in agents. Another fundamental aspect in a workflow process is measuring the most relevant elements, and detecting process areas that can be improved. Under these considerations, we proposed a framework to analyze and measure workflow process. This framework helps to improve and keep the maintenance of models and processes. All executing business process has an underlying workflow, and given the increasing work in the cloud, we applied this framework for evaluating workflow processes in the cloud. The framework helps to evaluate, compare and improve the workflow and, as a result, leads to the improvement of the processes.
