Abstract

Graphs are very popular models of many research subjects. Graphical presentation of a problem is advantageous for heuristic perception and understanding of relations between the objects considered. On the other hand, many efficient algorithmic techniques are available to attack mathematically stated graph problems. Therefore, graph models are especially useful where heuristic abilities of a human user in the formulation of a problem are combined with its algorithmic solution in the interactive mode. In the present chapter we consider the graph models of business processes which, in the literature on the management of business processes, are called business process diagrams business process diagram (BPDs). To be more precise, a problem of drawing aesthetically pleasing layouts of BPDs is considered. The research of this problem was motivated by the fact that the aesthetic layouts are not only well readable but also most informative and practical [12].
