On the de-facto Standard of Event-driven Process Chains: How EPC is defined in Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) and the Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) are both frequently used modelling languages to create business process models. While there is a well-defined standard for BPMN, such a standard is missing for EPC. As a standard would be beneficial to improve interoperability among different vendors, this paper aims at providing the means for future EPC standardization. Therefore, we have conducted a structured literature review of the most common EPC variants in IS research. We provide a structured overview of the evolution of different EPC variants, describe means and capabilities and elaborate different criteria for decision-making in regard to including EPC variants in a standardization process.

On the de-facto Standard of Event-driven Process Chains: Reviewing EPC Implementations in Process Modelling Tools
Nowadays, most process modelling tools implement popular modelling languages such as the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) or the Event-driven Process Chain (EPC). However, in contrast to BPMN, no effort has yet been undertaken to standardize the EPC language, thus rendering EPCs as being merely a de-facto standard for business process modelling. Subsequently, this paper addresses this...
متن کاملSecure EPC Gen2 Compliant Radio Frequency Identification
The increased functionality of EPC Class1 Gen2 (EPCGen2) is making this standard a de facto specification for inexpensive tags in the RFID industry. Recently three EPCGen2 compliant protocols that address security issues were proposed in the literature. In this paper we analyze these protocols and show that they are not secure and subject to replay/impersonation and statistical analysis attacks...
متن کاملOn Estimating a De Facto Population and Its Components
Abstract. This paper deals with estimating a population that is largely defined by the fact that its size, composition, and distribution are not readily accessible from census data in the U.S. and the other countries that use the De Jure concept of population. The population in question is based on the De Facto concept, which involves the estimation of people where they are found rather than wh...
متن کاملProcess Orientation and Object-Orientation — An Approach for Integrating UML and Event-Driven Process Chains (EPC)
Event-driven process chains (EPC) are used by many companies for modelling, analysing and redesigning business processes. The resulting EPC models are used as a starting point for the development of information systems and for the definition of workflows. They can be applied for simulation and activity based costing. A major area of application is the implementation of standard software package...
متن کاملOn Ontology-based Event-driven Process Chains
Event driven process chains (EPC) have become an established industry standard since a decade. Available tools are mainly used by highly educated experts. The great majority of processes are still developed with PowerPoint and Visio. With SemTalk an approach is presented how to enrich MS Visio in a way that it offers all modelling tool functionality required for EPC using an open meta model arc...
