The traditional techniques developed to deal with the issues in business process improvement don't meet the current and future organizations requirements. The existing methods are technology/fixed business process centric and not user-centric. The systems that can recognize the context of the user can bring great benefits especially enabling businesses to run more efficiently from any location. In...
Real-time performance monitoring is an essential practice to enable sense-and-respond capability of enterprises. However, building a performance monitoring application is often arduous. We present a model-driven, systematic approach to performance monitoring based on an extended business artifact-centric process model. In this approach, business artifacts provide a means of tracking resource utilization...
Traditional business process modeling approaches focus on the activities, data flows are an afterthought. Concerning cross-organizational collaboration on the Internet, data flow is still far from optimal, causing resource contention and unnecessary data exchanges. In this paper, a data-driven approach to Internet based business collaboration is proposed, which treats data as a centerpiece as data...
Enabling dynamic process changes is an essential requirement for any adaptive process management technology. Particularly, it should be possible to migrate (long-)running process instances to a new process schema version. Further, instance migration must not violate soundness; i.e., structural and behavorial consistency of executed process schemas need to be preserved. State compliance has been introduced...
Model-driven approaches have shown that the systematic use of models and model transformations can facilitate the development process of distributed applications. Abstract models can be used to (automatically) generate more detailed models, to simulate and execute application's behavior in early stages, to validate it against requirements, or to generate executable code. These models also document...
Widget aggregators such as iGoogle and Netvibes are broadly adopted by the mass market. They enable end-users to personalize their environment with their preferred services (Widgets). However, the usage in an enterprise context is not yet investigated. In this paper, we firstly show that in addition to personalization capability, the integration of business processes should be considered. Secondly,...
Computing has reached the time of distributed applications everywhere. Service-oriented architectures are more and more used to organize such complex and highly dynamic applications into business processes calling services discovered in registries at load-time. In this context, Quality of Service (QoS) and agility in business processes become key issues. Instead of binding business processes to services...
In information systems research, significant attention has been paid to the discrepancy between organizational context and technology. In the IS discourse this is, among other initiatives, expressed as the need to create alignment between business and IT. Translated into the domain of business process management (BPM), this will put demand on achieving alignment between used models in process modeling...
One of the problems occurring during services consuming is a matching problem: it is due to the little coupling between services providers and services consumers. To solve this problem, we propose an approach that emphasizes goal identification and decomposition. Those aspects suggest variability and are related to contextual knowledge. The approach includes mechanisms for engineering of service composition...
By its very nature, delivering information as a service upon the demands of the business, service-based business processes offer additional features and benefits that can complement traditional BI implementations in providing enterprises of all sizes a new approach to meet their data integration and analysis needs at all levels in the enterprise. To be successful, BI solutions have required new ways...
In order to solve the unsteadiness of business process caused by the constantly changing requirements in the Web circumstances, we propose in this paper an automatic configuration method for business process based on rules, with teaching management in colleges as research background. We first define the basic activities of each process and their mutual relations. When it is run-time, business process...
This paper presents WikiReq, a project exploiting the semantic Mediawiki to manage both system and organizational requirements in the context of business process reengineering (BPR). Our work is based on three ideas: 1) using a semantic Wiki for requirements elicitation and management; 2) exploiting the Wiki platform to define an argumentation system for both synchronous and asynchronous discussions...
This paper investigates context awareness in business process modelling (BPM). It introduces a context model for BPM (CM4BPM) and a role-based business process model (RBPM), and presents an approach allowing enacting processes with respect to the context. Decisions driving business processes enactment are based on context related knowledge. The proposed approach consists on using contextual knowledge...
In the banking sector business requirements continuously change whereas IT infrastructure investments must be amortized over years. This conflict produces very heterogeneous systems. Adopting the SOA / BPM approach helps coping with that complexity. This way, everything is a service, easing composition and integration. On top of that, strict security and reliability requirements exacerbate the need...
Enterprises employ goal models and process models in running their businesses, as well as when building information systems. A goal model is used to model the interests, intentions and strategies of different stakeholders. A process model is used to describe organizational business processes. An enterprise can benefit from using goal models to motivate the decisions when constructing process models...
Business processes are an essential asset of enterprises and must be supported by IT systems. A problem of today's business automated processes is that these processes are too rigid to accommodate changing business demands. This problem is more apparent especially when the processes are complex in nature and long in a process's cycle time. A solution to overcome this problem is to extract business...
