Reflections on the Relationship Between BPR and Software Process Modelling
نویسنده
چکیده
Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) is much in vogue both as an approach to the rationalisation of Corporate Organisations and as an aid to the design of the IT system which supports the Organisation. The eld of Software Process Modelling (SPM) started some 10 years ago with the objective of modelling and thence supporting the total set of software engineering activities necessary to develop and maintain software products. They both arose as a result of dissatisfaction with the current approaches to their respective domains. They share the word process but is there any other connection between them? This paper attempts to outline some possible synergies and pitfalls which might derive from a closer contact between the two disciplines.

Empirical modelling for participative business process reengineering
Page xii ✍ The purpose of this thesis is to introduce a new broad approach to computing – Empirical Modelling (EM) – and to propose a way of applying this approach for system development so as to avoid the limitations of conventional approaches and integrate system development with business process reengineering (BPR). Based on the concepts of agency, observable and dependency, EM is an experie...
متن کاملBpmn and Bpr: a New Shape of Business Processes
The aim of this paper is to perform the main part of the restructuring processes with Business Process Reengineering (BPR) methodology. The first step was to choose the processes for analysis. Two business processes, which occur in most of the manufacturing companies, have been selected. Afterwards, current state of these processes was examined. The conclusions were used to propose own changes ...
متن کاملRainfall-runoff modelling using artificial neural networks (ANNs): modelling and understanding
In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools in order to model complex hydrological processes such as the rainfall-runoff process. In many studies, ANNs have demonstrated superior results compared to alternative methods. ANNs are able to map underlying relationship between input and output data without prior understanding of the process under in...
متن کاملSynthesis and Statistical Analysis of Changing Size of Nano-structured PbO2 during Mechanical Milling Using Taguchi Methodology
The research investigates synthesized Nano-structured PbO2 using ball milling. The structure and morphology of the samples were determined in the process of milling by means of XRD and SEM. The size of particles was estimated through DLS analysis. The TEM image of the synthesized powder verifies the achievement of Nano dimensions. Design and analyses of the results using Taguchi methodology rev...
متن کاملBusiness Modelling. Languages and Tools
The paper provides an overview of business modelling techniques both at language and tool level. The basic elements of some most popular business modelling languages are briefly outlined, including the GRAPES-BM language developed by IMCS, University of Latvia. The paper presents also the basic principles, how metamodel based generic modelling techniques can be used for supporting several model...
