Declarative Enhancement Framework for Business Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
While Business Process Management (BPM) was designed to support rigid production processes, nowadays it is also at the core of more flexible business applications and has established itself firmly in the service world. Such a shift calls for new techniques. In this paper, we introduce a variability framework for BPM which utilizes temporal logic formalisms to represent the essence of a process, leaving other choices open for later customization or adaption. The goal is to solve two major issues of BPM: enhancing reusability and flexibility. Furthermore, by enriching the process modelling environment with graphical elements, the complications of temporal logic are hidden from the user.

A Novel Framework for Visualizing Declarative Process Models
The declarative approach to business process modeling has been introduced to deal with the issue of managing flexible processes. Instead of explicitly representing all the allowed enactments of a process, the approach describes the constraints that limit its behavior. However, current graphical notations for declarative processes are prone to be difficult to understand, thus hampering a widespr...
متن کاملA New Notational Framework for Declarative Process Modeling
In order to capture flexible scenarios, a declarative approach to business process modeling describes constraints that limit a process’ behavior instead of specifying all its allowed enactments. However, current graphical notations for declarative processes are tough to understand, thus hampering a widespread usage of the approach. To overcome this issue, we present a novel notational framework...
متن کاملExtending Agent-oriented Requirements with Declarative Business Processes: a Computational Logic-based Approach
Abstract. The analysis of business requirements and the specification of business processes are fundamental for the development of information system. The focus of this paper is on the combination of these two phases, that is, on linking the business goals and requirements to the business process model. To this end, we propose to extend the Tropos framework, which is used to model system and bu...
متن کاملDeclarative Process Modeling with Business Vocabulary and Business Rules
A process modeling language is declarative when it explicitly takes into account the business concerns that govern business processes. In this paper, we show how business concerns can be modeled declaratively using a fact-oriented business vocabulary that allows to express sixteen different business rule types. In particular, we present the EMBrACE Framework, an extension of the SBVR that allow...
متن کاملDPIL Navigator 2.0: Multi-Perspective Declarative Process Execution
The Declarative Process Intermediate Language (DPIL) is a declarative process modelling language that allows for specifying multiperspective and multi-modal flexible, processes. The DPIL Framework provides a tool set for supporting flexible and multi-perspective business processes based on the language DPIL. The DPIL Navigator 2.0 depicts a declarative execution engine for enacting models. It c...
