Business an-alysts want to learn about the factors that influence the performanceof business processes and most often contribute to the violation of KPItarget values, and how they relate to eac...

Business process monitoring provides well established means to track the history and state of business processes and to evaluate their performance. However, common techniques and systems lack support of monitoring processes and their interactions with partners, particularly if such processes are not automated or only few events can be detected, rather than a complete log. In this paper, we pres...

Currently, Service Based Applications (SBAs) concentrate on composing software services into business processes. However, a few languages explicitly define business artifacts [6] including critical business activities, business events, business data, QoS requirements and SLAs. This is surprising since end-toend processes typically involve well defined standard processes or segments( (eg. paymen...

This paper presents an approach to describe business process in production systems using workflow concepts. This work presents an approach to model workflow applications based on the C-Wf model and UML (Unified Modeling Language) Activity Diagrams. The C-Wf model represents the structural and functional enterprise objects involved in the business processes, such as enterprise activities, human ...

Value constellations are business ecosystems, where multiple actors communicate in economic, legal, information and social affairs. How to monitor such a system demands viewpoint and view-dependent strategies. The problem treated and reported here is how to monitor a value activity. The mechanism proposed to address this problem, so-called Value Activity Monitoring, is based on an ontology of s...

Executable business processes that formally describe company activities are well placed in the SOA environment, as they allow for the declarative organization of high-level system logic. However, to fully benefit from that element of abstraction, appropriate business process monitoring systems are required for both technical and non-technical users. Unfortunately, current solutions remain unsat...

Business processes are crucial for every organisation as they represent the core value generating processes. Managing business processes is important to be efficient and to compete with a globalized market. Business process monitoring is an essential means to understand and to improve working procedures.

In recent years, workflow technology has been widely used in business process management. With the increased complexity, uncertainty and risks in business operations, workflow monitoring is gaining growing attention in business process controlling and supervision. However, monitoring functions provided in traditional workflow systems lack flexibility, and provide little support for managing com...
