Conceptual elevation of data in business process modeling was first formulated in 2003. The research community responded to this new idea enthusiastically. In the past decade, there have been numerous research activities concerning the interactions between business processes/activities and data in many aspects of business process management. Many of the advancements have or will have impacted on design/modeling,...
A business process (BP or workflow) is an assembly of tasks to accomplish a business goal. Business process management (BPM) aims to provide support for the design, configuration/implementation, enactment and monitoring, diagnose/analysis, and re-design of workflow. Business analytics or intelligence (BI) is a necessary step towards re-design/improvement. The traditional methodology for BI is the...
Business process (or workflow) management is vital in enterprise application systems. Current workflow management systems (WfMSs) do not provide a clear separation between execution management and data management, such a lack of separation causes serious difficulties in managing data consistency and process change. This paper argues for an "execution independence" principle of isolating...
An important omission in current development practice for business process (or workflow) management systems is modeling of data & access for a business process, including relationship of the process data and the persistent data in the underlying enterprise database(s). This paper develops and studies a new approach to modeling data for business processes: representing data used by a process as...
Data and its manipulation are essential in business processes (BPs). It is desirable to ensure within BP executions that every update to a database server guarantees to satisfy all relevant data integrity constraints (ICs). Furthermore, the earlier in a BP execution a violation is detected the more dependable the BP is. This paper studies the Process Safety Problem (PSP): will an incoming message...
Artifact-centric business process models allow to describe artifacts (data objects) and their life cycles, which allow designers to focus on individual artifact in business processes, thus simplifies the design and analysis of business process model. However, this feature is a double-edged sword. The description of the relationships between artifacts becomes a new and nontrivial problem. It is better...
