me aware of this opportunity and his valuable advice and flexible mentoring during this work. very much. I could always seek his advice and benefit from his excellent expertise and our productive discussions, for that I am very grateful. Furthermore, I would like to thank Alexander Förster for his continual support and countless advices. During my work in his project group " Pattern-based Business Process Modeling " he raised my interest in this field of research. for proofreading and giving me valuable feedback. Last but foremost, I would like to thank my wife Inga for her endless patience, understanding and support.
