Organizations have an increasing need to adapt faster their Information Systems to technical, functional and legal changes. One way proposed in the literature is to make a deep process analysis in order to have a better comprehension of the business process (BP) and adapt it to its new context. In this paper, we propose a meta model for a BP contextualization solution. The solution links a BP with...
Traditionally business processes (BP) is represented as the sets of related sequences of procedures (activities). Choice of the correct procedures' sequence is carried out on the basis of explicit and implicit dependencies between them. In modern process mining systems order of BP executing is recorded in logs with corresponding time stamps. The analysis of these logs allows finding the explicit dependencies...
Contemporary workflow management systems are determined by precise process models, i.e., a totally specific workflow design is necessary so as to discover a given workflow process. Creating a workflow design is a complex time-consuming process and characteristically there are conflicts and discrepancies between the real-time workflow processes and the processes as professed by the management. Consequently,...
A number of business organizations are beginning to realize the importance of business process management. However, process can often go the way they were initially not designed for or a non-efficient performance process model could be designed. To solve this problem, business process mining which can be used as the basis for the business process re-engineering has been recognized to an important...
This paper provides basic ideas and methods toward SWS based business services composition. First, a formal model of business services composition was introduced. Second, an approach to service set mining for service composition was presented, and finally, the paper presents the solution model of requirement driven service selection.
Software production line and Web services are two new hot topics in the field of software engineering and distributed computing. How to integrate the two aspects and to put the combinational services software into distributed, reusable, high efficiency, large-scale production, is a new and exciting challenges. This paper presents a service-oriented software production line integration framework based...
As the progress of information technology, some financial systems used for long time can no longer meet the requirement of customers in both user interface and business process, and need reengineering imminently. In order to save the human resource and financial effort, this article raises a reengineering approach by encapsulating the back-end data access code of legacy system and only refactoring...
It is of practical significance and great value to find out a service-oriented modeling technique for integration of oil-drilling engineering applications deployed on grid sites. In this paper, a domain-specific model for oil-drilling engineering is suggested. Furthermore, a business component model for mapping domain-specific model into real system is proposed. Two models contribute the decoupling...
Business process's performance determine the whole enterprise's economic profit, researching work on business process's optimization is very useful and meaningful. This thesis point out that manager must take the dynamic environment and multiple objectives into account while optimizing the enterprise's business process. Based on the theory of multiple objective optimizations, AHP, and simulation technology,...
The execution of process-oriented composite services described with BPMN has become a hot research topic. In this paper, we present a decentralized execution engine for BPMN-based composite services, the basic idea of which is to make a BPMN model directly executable without converting to another executable model. An executable BPMN model named BPD is first defined. Second, a set of algorithms are...
Integrating RFID to enterprise business process is now becoming an important aspect in RFID research field. The conventional business process integrating method can hardly meet the need of RFID business applications. In this paper, we introduce an RFID middleware business process integration framework based on EPC modeling and complex event processing. This framework allows users to rapidly model...
We describe a framework and methodology for managing the privacy policy of an enterprise, including creation (based on factors like legislation and consumer preferences), validation and verification, deployment and enforcement, and compliance testing for business processes and software. To evaluate this approach, one module of our framework (compliance testing) is implemented for an existing prominent...
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides the flexibility of dynamically composing business processes in enterprise computing. However, they must be enhanced to support real-time activities in future SOA applications such as media streaming, control applications, cyber-physical, and intelligent vehicle systems. In this paper, we present the RT-Llama SOA middleware to support predictability in real-time...
As the basic application of PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) theories and technologies, electronic authentication services (thereinafter referred to as EAS) is defined as to provide authentic identities and identity verification services for participants involved in network-based activities. Due to its complexity of constructing PKI, most application systems including e-business platforms need to integrate...
Currently there are increasing interests in using REST architecture style to implement business process. However, the importance of role is not emphasized. In fact role is critical to determine the RESTful services description and to control the services composition. This paper presents a role-centric RESTful services description and composition mechanism to implement business process. Firstly a resource...
Workflow management systems (WfMS) are widely used for improving business processes and providing better quality of services. However, rapid changes in business environment can cause exceptions in WfMS leading to deadline violation and other consequences. In these circumstances, one of the crucial tasks for a workflow administrator is to detect any potential exceptions as early as possible so that...
Enterprise information systems (EIS) are the core to support an enterprise to cope with changing requirement and service. However, dynamic is hard to tackle in EIS. Enterprise isomorphic architecture (EIA) which has been studied in our earlier work with models and methods is to provide structural and semantic interoperability of EIS on the three levels of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic. Enterprise...
In the business world, financial institutions, like banks and investment firms, heavily rely on technology to manipulate daily operations and support business. Many more business processes have now become automated and require procedures to be approved. For example, when providing business services liked personal / corporate loans, mortgage, or Letter of Credit (LC), a customer is required to submit...
In this paper we review several approaches for the performance evaluation of business workflows and propose an approach based on Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets, which presents desirable characteristics, such as analytic solutions. We present a case study demonstrating the application of our proposal and compare the results with that obtained by a colored Petri net model.
In recent years, service-oriented architecture (SOA) has been widely adopted for enterprise application integration. A SOA not only promotes interoperable, loosely coupled enterprise applications; it also reduces the conceptual gap between business and IT. For SOA life-cycle management it is desirable that business processes can be traced to services and vice versa. However, this is usually not the...
