Exploring business process modelling paradigms and design-time to run-time transitions

Modelling and optimising run-time reconfigurable systems

We present a simple model for specifying and optimising designs which contain elements that can be reconfigured at run-time. In this model the control mechanism for reconfiguration can be implemented in many ways: by the user using multiplexers or other logic blocks, or by FPGAs which support dynamic partial reconfiguration. The model can be used for encoding layout information and for assessin...

Real-time Prediction and Synchronization of Business Process Instances using Data and Control Perspective

Nowadays, in a competitive and dynamic environment of businesses, organizations need to moni-tor, analyze and improve business processes with the use of Business Process Management Systems(BPMSs). Management, prediction and time control of events in BPMS is one of the major chal-lenges of this area of research that has attracted lots of researchers. In this paper, we present a...

The Service Oriented Business Process and Separation of Concerns - Modelling paradigms for Architectures and Business Processes

This paper deals with the contemporary concern of business service-orientation. The paper suggests that service-oriented Business Information Systems Development (BISD) permits quality aspects, -“ilities” e.g.; maintainability and modifiability, of BISs and BISD. In addition, this paper departs from viewing a Business Information System (BIS) as services and suggests Separation of Concerns (SoC...

Exploring a Domain Ontology Based Approach to Business Process Design

Business process modeling is a critical area of business application as business processes increase in complexity and become more automated. However, little attention has been paid to the fact that business process modelers often misunderstand domain concepts or relationships due to a lack of precise domain knowledge. This semantic ambiguity problem often affects the efficiency and quality of b...
