Using Semantically Annotated Models for Supporting Business Process Benchmarking
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe an approach for using semantic annotations of process models to support business process benchmarking. We show how semantic annotations can support the preparation of process benchmarking data by adding machine-processable semantic information to existing process models without modifying the original modeling language, conduct semantic analyses for the purpose of performance measurement, and obfuscate the information contained in the models for ensuring confidentiality. The approach has been implemented on the ADOxx platform and applied to two use cases for a first evaluation.

Enriching business process models with semantic annotations taken from an ontology has become a crucial necessity both in service provisioning, integration and composition, and in business processes management. In our work we represent semantically annotated business processes as part of an OWL knowledge base that formalises the business process structure, the business domain, and a set of crit...

Business processes are facing increasing pressure to quickly and flexibly adapt to changes in the process context. Moreover, microservices are becoming increasingly popular as an architectural style for partitioning business logic into small services accessible with lightweight mechanisms, leading to increasing pressure for a more dynamic integration of information services with processes. Proc...
متن کاملTowards Using Reo for Compliance-Aware Business Process Modeling
Business process modeling and implementation of process supporting infrastructures are two challenging tasks which are not fully aligned. On the one hand, languages such as Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) exist to capture business processes at the level of domain analysis. On the other hand, programming paradigms and technologies such as Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) and web servic...
