Management of collaborative processes involving multiple parties is one of the dominant topics in contemporary information system research. While the process perspective is quite well understood and supported by a wide range of modeling approaches, it is necessary to go beyond the process perspective alone. We specifically address the following question: If we consider the involved parties of a...

This paper introduces definition and enactment models to characterize workflows. The proposed knowledge model provides concepts for modeling activities, data used by such activities, agents, and ordering operators and synchronization modes used for specifying activities dependencies. The behavior model provides dimensions that characterize workflow enactment. Both models are currently implement...

Intention-oriented process mining is based on the belief that the fundamental nature of processes is mostly intentional (unlike activity-oriented process) and aims at discovering strategy and intentional process models from event-logs recorded during the process enactment. In this paper, we present an application of intention-oriented process mining for the domain of incident management of an I...

The paper introduces a method to design software process models. The method is based on object oriented design extended with a kernel of PM specific classes and relations. A graphical notation to depict process model designs is given together with few structuring and presentation rules.

Process-oriented analysis and optimisation of administrative procedures are key prerequisites for successful organisational and technical restructuring of municipal administration in the move to E-Government. Exploitation of the full potential of information and communications technology can only be achieved through structured procedures. An integrated process view, which gives an overview of o...

This paper provides the analytical solution and algorithm of UO-DPMM based on a non-parametric Bayesian manner, and thus realizes fully Bayesian speaker clustering. We carried out preliminary speaker clustering experiments by using a TIMIT database to compare the proposed method with the conventional Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) based method, which is an approximate Bayesian approach. T...

When modelling business processes, we have to address four key elements: On a conceptual level, we have to define Goals, Activities, and Roles. On a pre-implementation physical level we have to define Objects. In this paper, we examine step by step how business processes can be modelled, which data are needed for each step and which result would be produced during each step. Furthermore, we sug...

The improvement of internal combustion engine is largely accomplished though the introduction of innovative actuators that allow optimization and control of the flow, mixing, and combustion processes. The realization of such a novel system depends on the existence of an operational controller that will stabilize the engine and allow experimental testing which, consequently, leads to further dev...

The economic relevance of IT risks is increasing due to various operational, technical as well as regulatory reasons. Increasing flexibility of business processes and increasing dependability on IT require continuous risk assessment, challenging current methods for risk management. Extending IT risk management by a business process-oriented view is a promising approach for taking the occurring ...
