Towards a Methodology for Deriving Contract-Compliant Business Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a methodology for deriving business process descriptions based on terms in business contract. The aim is to assist process modellers in structuring collaborative interactions between parties, including their internal processes, to ensure contract-compliant behaviour. The methodology requires a formal model of contracts to facilitate process derivations and to form a basis for contract analysis tools and run-time process execution.

Business transactions are governed by legally established contracts. Contractual obligations are to be fulfilled by executing business processes of the involved parties. To enable this, contract terms and conditions need to be semantically mapped to process concepts and then analyzed for compliance with existing process models. To solve the problem, we propose a methodology that, using a layere...
متن کاملUsing Multi-Tier Contract Ontology to deduce Contract Workflow Model for enterprise interoperability
Ontologies are being proposed as a medium for affecting enterprise application integration. Though it is widely accepted that ontologies can support interenterprise interoperability, the exact nature and extent to which ontology may be useful is uncertain. We promote the use of ontology in a two-fold way: first, as a knowledge base for fostering human-to-human shared understanding; second, as ‘...
متن کاملMeasurement of Compliance Distance in Business Work Practice
Ensuring that work practice is compliant to regulations and industrial standards is an increasingly important issue in business systems. Whereas as an understanding of control objectives that stem from various legislative, standard and contractual sources may be found at strategic or tactical levels, an assessment of their effective adoption in operational practices is extremely hard. In this p...
