Process frameworks contain the main logic of business. Frameworks extracting and filling can formulate a new process efficiently and accurately. Aiming at the construction guidance of new business processes with framework, a direct-viewing solution based on the similarity analysis of process diagrams is proposed. In this solution, the process diagrams are abstracted into process trees to get process...
Business process model collections received much attention as option to store an organization's process models and to make them available for further usage. Recently, also data objects and their states are studied intensively. However, process model collections often do not contain data objects. Generally, they focus on control flow structures of the process models. In this paper, we propose an approach...
The rapid growth in revenue-generating capabilities of mobile social games has caught the attention of both researchers and industry. The author analyzes the key factors of revenue-generating engines in mobile social games in Japan, and presents the four key factors involved in revenue-generation mechanisms of those games. The author discusses the four golden rules of mobile social games and presents...
Successful data quality analyzing depends on the business rules. We present a knowledge-based framework for data quality analyzing, which carries out the representation of business knowledge by production rules and performs Analysis and cleansing operations automatically by Jess engine driver; The framework provides a systematic approach for domain knowledge representation, supports the complete life-cycle...
Relation Extraction is an important research field in Information Extraction. In this paper, we present a novel mixed model to extract relation between named entities in Chinese, which combines the merits of both feature based method and tree kernel based method. Feature based method captures the language information of the text, while, the tree kernel based method shows the structured information...
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...
One of the key activities needed to construct a quality service-oriented solution is specification of the architectural elements. Selection of an appropriate and proven method for specification of the elements consisted of services, flows, and components is thus fundamental to successful service-oriented system development in an enterprise. Existing methods for service specification ignore the automation...
Two parties that conduct a business transaction through the internet do not see each other face-to-face nor do they exchange any document or currency hand-to-hand. Electronic payment is a way by which the two parties transfer the money through internet. Offering electronic payment can also help businesses improve and customer retention. When electronic money is transferred from a buyer to a seller...
SOA have been deployed as a mean to offer a better flexibility, to increase efficiency through reuse of services and also to improve interoperability by providing new opportunities to connect heterogeneous platforms. However, those benefits make security more difficult to control. Fortunately, new standards are proposed to treat this issue, but their current use makes the architecture much more complex...
Rules engine technology provides a good solution to manage dynamic business logic, but there are many problems existing in the uniform standard, interoperability, and remote accessibility in present business rules, so that it is difficult to be used in the distributed environment. In this paper, it proposed the design and implementation of DBRE (distributed business rule engine) by exploring the service-oriented...
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...
Business-to-business (B2B) partnerships bring a need for a B2B platform as a middle-ground solution that enables the information exchange and interaction between operators' and business partners' applications. The article discusses the market need for communication between partners' applications, classes of exchanged information and topics connected with revenue management, customer-centric and telco-centric...
In business process management, graph-based models are used to represent coordination protocols between collaborating partners as well as for service orchestration and composition. At runtime however, current process engines are commonly based on mainly block-structured languages, such as BPEL, that differ structurally and semantically from process graphs. Recent work has accomplished elaborate mappings...
A key challenge in devising solutions to a range of problems associated with business process management: process life cycle management, compliance management, enterprise process architectures etc. is the problem of identifying process semantics. The current industry standard business process modeling notation, BPMN, provides little by way of semantic description of the effects of a process (beyond...
Specification of business processes is becoming a significant aspect of development of Web-based services. Workflows are applied to a business process in order to identify and describe details in the relationships among different business activities. In structuring the relationships among processes, workflows focus mainly on control flow aspects. In this paper we advocate an alternative method for...
Modelling business processes using BPMN has been emerging as the preferred choice for organisations seeking to enact their business processes in service-oriented environments. However, a number of organisations have their business processes modelled using role activity diagramming, RAD. In this research, we introduce a new approach to translating RAD business process models to their respective BPMN...
Gathering and understanding what the user need is one of the most important things in the service creation lifecycle. We firstly discuss the difference between the service requirements and the traditional software requirement. Then we propose the service requirement refinement method by decompose the goal of the users. Once the sub-goals are defined, they can be mapping directly into related service...
Development efficiency is an important factor for the Internet-scale software produced through services composition. In this paper, we aim at improving development efficiency from two aspects. One is to improve services discovery efficiency through recommendation, and the other is to provide a mechanism to reuse an existing composite service. We propose BestRec, a behavior similarity based approach...
This paper presents a methodology for the Model Driven Engineering of complex, multi-actor business processes, mixing tasks executed by humans and by machines. The idea is to enrich business description languages with a few extra details on task assignment, semantics, and typed dataflows, so as to enable a two-step generative approach: first the Process Model is automatically transformed into an Application...
The Web service business process execution language (BPEL) lacks any standard graphical notation. Various efforts have been undertaken to visualize BPEL using the business process modelling notation (BPMN). Although this is straightforward for the majority of concepts, it is tricky for the full BPEL standard, partly due to the insufficiently specified BPMN execution semantics. The upcoming BPMN~2...
