With the uptake of business process modeling in practice, the demand grows for guidelines that lead to consistent and integrated collections of process models. The notion of a business process architecture has been explicitly proposed to address this. This paper provides an overview of the prevailing approaches to design a business process architecture. Furthermore, it includes evaluations of t...

Large organizations often run hundreds or even thousands of business processes. Managing such large collections of business processes is a challenging task. Intelligent software can assist in that task by providing common repository functions such as storage, search and version management. They can also provide advanced functions that are specific for managing collections of process models, suc...

Complexity in business processes can be inhibitor of performance and a motivator at the same time. Current studies on business process complexity primarily focus on the structural aspect of process complexity. However given the subjective nature of complexity, it is important to expand the notion beyond the structural dimension so as to provide a more accurate reading of process complexity. In ...

Business process management and improvement are vital for enterprises in competitive environments. Understanding of a process is a pre-requisite and important step for improvement. Interaction between humans, computers, and business objects provide excellent opportunities for knowledge extraction. However, the specification of a framework is required for business process improvement, which exte...

In this paper we propose an abstract framework to model the deontic notions relevant for business process compliance. In particular, we provide a comprehensive classification of the obligation types relevant for modelling whether a process is compliant, and we describe their semantics in terms of execution traces.

Business Process Management (BPM) lifecycle consists of goals specification, through the other phases such as design, implementation, execution, enactment, monitoring and evaluation of BP During process enactment information collected about execution plans that are stored in the form of log files and database tables, with information systems (IS) and use .In the past decade it has emerged a new...

In this demo paper, we present SUPER standing for Socialbased bU siness Process managEment fRamework that leverages social computing principles for the design and development of social business processes (aka business processes 2.0). SUPER identifies task, person, and machine as the core components of a business process. Afterwards, SUPER establishes a set of execution and social relations to i...

This research contributes to extend Business Process Management (BPM) systems with resilience support. We applied concepts derived from resilience engineering and the study of hazards in highly reliable organizations to characterize resilient BPM. We developed a resilience framework based on two criteria, control, which may be prescriptive, mixed or discretionary, and response, considering plan...

INTRODUCTION Agile Modelling (AM) approach to developing software-based systems aims to improve system modelling process by combining best practices of selected modelling methods in a context of a particular project. “Simply put, Agile Modelling (AM) is a collection of values, principles, and practices for modelling software that can be applied on a software development project in an effective ...
