Bridging the Gap between Goals, Agents and Business Processes

چکیده
Organizational Modeling is a discipline which tries to capture and reason about the distinct dimensions (e.g. structure, strategies and processes) involved in organizations by the means of visual models. In order to be effective, these models must represent in an abstract way, the right set of concepts composing each of the organizational dimension. Our work focuses on identifying and understanding this set of concepts through a foundational ontology. Moreover, we aim at investigating different modeling languages, identifying if (and to what extent) each of them, individually or in combination with one another, adequately covers this set of concepts. In this article, we discuss our work on the combination of i*/Tropos (representing a goal modeling dimension) with approaches representing the agent-oriented organization and business process domains. Finally, we elaborate on case studies and computational support for the methodologies originated from the combination of these languages.

Business process models provide a natural way to describe real-world processes to be supported by software-intensive systems. These models can be used to analyze processes in the system-as-is and describe potential improvements for the system-to-be. There is however little support to analyze how well a given business process models satisfies its business goals. Our objective is to address these...

Introduction & Objective: Knowledge transfer and in fact, the bridging of theory and practice is one of the main concerns of all academic disciplines. Getting prominent professional status is the thing that can be achieved by knowledge-based function, and of which would be called as successful discipline that it be able to transfer its theoretical paradigmatic claims into practice. Accordingly,...
