BRMS has played an important role in the development of business applications with its capability of separating business logic from hardcode of programming languages as business rules in a manageable and executable manner to improve agility of these applications. In Service Collaborative Enterprise (SCE), BRMS needs to be utilized in a cooperative way to facilitate the participants defining and enacting...
In this paper we propose a conceptual framework for the design the groupware user interface. It supports the interface design enabling integration with software development processes through UML notation. We studied relevant proposals in the domain of CSCW and HCI. Taxonomy is defined in order to classify concepts from those proposals. Finally, the taxonomy is populated for defining main concepts...
Context-Sensitive Systems (CSS) demand that designers consider new aspects and challenges in comparison to traditional applications. In a preliminary experiment, we observed that developers have difficulties when including the concept of context in their applications. This paper presents a CSS Design Process, which details the main activities for context specification and the design of CSS and provides...
Process Modeling has been adopted by organizations in various contexts, such as analysis for best practices, system design and Information Technology architecture. Despite its importance, modeling process is still costly and complex. The process mining technique extracts information from systems event log, however, a business process incorporates human activities, which will never be present in logs...
This article presents a collaborative travel portal with ecommerce and operation services based on multi-level authentication. The portal provides composite ecommerce service for tourists and distributed operation services for a virtual travel enterprise. The virtual enterprise is kind of dynamic coalition, and reorganized by tourism-related cross-regional business agencies. The portal has been developed...
This paper examines how Web services can be used to aid co-operative working for design applications, particularly with regard to transaction management. Design applications classically are long running. Users typically check documents out to work on them, and then check them back in later. While checked out other users cannot work on them. We propose a model which will increase throughput. We achieve...
Inter-enterprises workflow is by no means rare recently, which is more complex and dynamic than the intra-enterprise workflow. The Timed Colored Petri Nets (TCPN)-enhanced process-view approach implemented in our previous work provides an effective way to facilitate inter-enterprises workflow management. In this paper, the collaborative execution mechanisms have been developed for the TCPN-enhanced...
This paper discusses the extension of the workflow management coalition (WfMC) reference architecture to support organizational resilience. We propose a workflow component responsible for moving control between the system and the operators. The internal architecture of this component is discussed in detail, exposing the fundamental resilience properties: diagnosis, escalation, collaboration, monitoring...
Virtual enterprise (VE) is the prime organization pattern of manufacturing in the 21st century, which generally is regarded as a management method for entity enterprise (EE), namely traditional enterprise, to realize agile manufacture using exterior resources. VE's performance management may be considered as the extension of the entity enterprise performance management. Based on the balanced score...
Industrial SME face new challenges in the global market as customers are requiring more complete solutions and reducing the number of their suppliers. Small SME can face these new challenges through cooperation within collaborative networks. Human aspects are fundamental in collaborative networks as people, and not organizations or IT systems cooperate. This paper addresses the major human aspects...
Engineering enterprises today have to cope with various challenges dealing with the management of their multidisciplinary and collaborative engineering contexts. Amongst others, those are: the integration of involved distributed IT systems, the management of changes on the complex collaborative product and process data, and the support of collaborative users. Many solutions have been proposed and...
