Towards the Interchange of Fuzzy-EPCs: An XML-based Approach for Fuzzy Business Process Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent research has led to proposals for the integration of fuzzy based information and decision rules in business process models with use of concepts based on the fuzzy set theory. While the proposed Fuzzy EPCs provide an adequate method for conceptual representation of fuzzy business process models, the issue of exchanging and transforming such models, together with its enclosed executable components, with other dedicated information systems such as workflow management systems and fuzzy modeling tools has not been approached yet. As a first step in this direction, this paper proposes a machine-readable FuzzyEPC representation in XML based on the EPC Markup Language (EPML). We start with the formal Fuzzy-EPC syntax definition and introduce our extensions to EPML. At the same time, we highlight future application areas of the Fuzzy-EPC schema.

Representing and processing fuzzy information - an XML-based approach
Fuzzy approaches to improve decision making within business applications are widely spread. However, these solutions are often restricted to special areas, and are less than fully integrated into company-wide business application systems. We propose to use a common way to represent fuzzy information to soften this lack of integration. In this paper, we introduce a formal syntax for important fu...

Recent research has led to proposals for the model-driven configuration of Enterprise Systems (ES) by the help of configurable reference models. While the proposed Configurable EPCs (C-EPCs) provide adequate conceptual support towards reference model configuration, the issue of translating the configured models towards executable process specifications has not been approached yet. A first step ...
