Business Modelling Is Not Process Modelling

چکیده
Innovative e-business projects start with a design of the e-business model. We often encounter the view, in research as well as industry practice, that an e-business model is similar to a business process model, and so can be specified using UML activity diagrams or Petri nets. In this paper, we explain why this is a misunderstanding. The root cause is that a business model is not about process but about value exchanged between actors. Failure to make this separation of concerns leads to poor business decision-making and inadequate business requirements.

AMFIBIA is a meta-model that formalizes the essential aspects and concepts of business process modelling. Though AMFIBIA is not the first approach to formalizing the aspects and concepts of business process modelling, it is more ambitious in the following respects: First, it is independent from particular modelling formalisms of business processes and it is designed in such a way that any forma...
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 کاملEmpowering Business Users to Model and Execute Business Processes
Existing process modelling languages and especially executable process modelling languages are not designed for business users without programming knowledge. We therefore propose a novel Lightweight Process Modelling seeking to lower the entrance barrier for modelling executable processes. In this sense lightweight applies to the user interaction and means easy to understand in the context of t...
