Check out the Appian Playbook. In your case, going through the following checklist will help: https://community.appian.com/w/the-appian-playbook/209/project-implementation-best-practices-checklist.

I'm not aware of any documented process modeling best practices, but take a look at the UX Design Guide for UI best practices.

The prefix of the application should always be in caps followed by an underscore with camel casing for the object name. Example: LAHS_getRequestDetails

I believe the current "best practice" is the form "ORG_APP_MyRuleName" where ORG relates somehow to the client or organisation the rule is for, whilst APP relates to the application for that client. You could go further and define a form for the "MyRuleName" - eg ORG_APP_VerbObjectByField, for example - but this might be going a little far. As chetany has said, ultimately it's a platform-level decision.

These are just suggestions for standard naming - it is subjective. They are not hard rules.
Lot of projects and people use PREFIX_camelCase. For eg: APN_displayBoolean is the name of a rule from "Common Appian Rules" application by Appian.
You can also refer the "Case Management app" created by Appian.
It uses both camelCase and Pascal case.
For eg: Here are few names of the rules from case management:
CASE_APP_CustomerDiffLabelValue
CASE_APP_createNewCustomer

One is camel case, another is pascal case. The prefix is CASE_APP.

So, you can use either convention. Both are fine.
But, once you decide which convention to use, follow it throughout the development of that application consistently.
