  • aspect oriented Business Process Modelling with precedence
    Business Process Modeling Notation, 2012
    Co-Authors: Amin Jalali, Petia Wohed, Chun Ouyang
    Abstract:

    Complexity is a major concern which is aimed to be overcome by people through Modelling. One way of reducing complexity is separation of concerns, e.g. separation of Business Process from applications. One sort of concerns are cross-cutting concerns i.e. concerns which are scattered and tangled through one or several models. In Business Process management, examples of such concerns are security and privacy policies. To deal with these cross-cutting concerns, the aspect orientated approach was introduced in the software development area and recently also in the Business Process management area. The work presented in this paper elaborates on aspect oriented Process Modelling. It extends earlier work by defining a mechanism for capturing multiple concerns and specifying a precedence order according to which they should be handled in a Process. A formal syntax of the notation is presented precisely capturing the extended concepts and mechanisms. Finally, the relevance of the approach is demonstrated through a case study.

  • Business Process Management - On the suitability of BPMN for Business Process Modelling
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2006
    Co-Authors: Petia Wohed, Arthur H. M. Ter Hofstede, Marlon Dumas, Wil M. P. Van Der Aalst, Nick Russell
    Abstract:

    In this paper we examine the suitability of the Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) for Business Process Modelling, using the Workflow Patterns as an evaluation framework. The Workflow Patterns are a collection of patterns developed for assessing control-flow, data and resource capabilities in the area of Process Aware Information Systems (PAISs). In doing so, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the capabilities of BPMN, and its strengths and weaknesses when utilised for Business Process Modelling. The analysis provided for BPMN is part of a larger effort aiming at an unbiased and vendor-independent survey of the suitability and the expressive power of some mainstream Process Modelling languages. It is a sequel to previous work in which languages including BPEL and UML Activity Diagrams were evaluated.

  • on the suitability of uml 2 0 activity diagrams for Business Process Modelling
    Asia-Pacific Conference on Conceptual Modelling, 2006
    Co-Authors: Nick Russell, Wil M. P. Van Der Aalst, A H M Ter Hofstede, Petia Wohed
    Abstract:

    UML is posited as the "swiss army knife" for systems Modelling and design activities. It embodies a number of Modelling formalisms that have broad applicability in capturing both the static and dynamic aspects of software systems. One area of UML that has received particular attention is that of Activity Diagrams (ADs), which provide a high-level means of Modelling dynamic system behaviour. In this paper we examine the suitability of UML 2.0 Activity Diagrams for Business Process Modelling, using the Workflow Patterns as an evaluation framework. The Workflow Patterns are a collection of patterns developed for assessing control-flow, data and resource capabilities in the area of Process Aware Information Systems (PAIS). In doing so, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the capabilities of UML 2.0 ADs, and their strengths and weaknesses when utilised for Business Process Modelling.

  • Business Process Modelling using diagrammatic and tabular techniques
    Business Process Management Journal, 2007
    Co-Authors: Nadja Damij
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The paper discusses the problem of Business Process Modelling, various techniques which are used to carry out Business Process Modelling and aims to analyse the use of different techniques to find a better solution.Design/methodology/approach – Business Process Modelling techniques could be divided into two groups, the diagrammatic and tabular techniques. As a representative of diagrammatic techniques, a flowchart is chosen and discussed in detail. A Process model could also be developed using the activity table as a representative of tabular techniques. A comparative analysis of the two techniques is consequently carried out. The pros and cons of both techniques were analysed on the two case‐studies – the problems of Sales_Claim and Credit_Card are used as examples to test both techniques.Findings – Based on the comparative analysis, several useful remarks are given as a result of this work. First, both techniques are simple and useful for Business Processes Modelling. Drawing a flowchart is ea...

  • Business Process Management - Business Process Modelling and improvement using TAD methodology
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2005
    Co-Authors: Nadja Damij, Talib Damij
    Abstract:

    This paper aims at carrying out Business Process Modelling and Business Process improvement using TAD methodology. The methodology consists of six phases; the first three deal with Business Process Modelling and improvement, and the last three phases continue with the implementation of the improved Business Processes by developing an information system, which covers the areas discussed. To make the methodology capable of carrying out Business Process Modelling and improvement, the first three phases of the methodology are intended to solve this problem successfully. The problem of Sales_Claim is used as an example to show the implementation of the new concepts of the methodology. The results of this work are very encouraging.

  • Context-awareness for adequate Business Process Modelling
    Proceedings of the 2009 3rd International Conference on Research Challenges in Information Science RCIS 2009, 2009
    Co-Authors: Oumaima Saidani, Selmin Nurcan
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates context awareness in Business Process Modelling (BPM). It introduces a context model for BPM (CM4BPM) and a role-based Business Process model (RBPM), and presents an approach allowing enacting Processes with respect to the context. Decisions driving Business Processes enactment are based on context related knowledge. The proposed approach consists on using contextual knowledge in order to enhance the adequacy of the assignments during the enactment of the Business Processes, it can be used to improve the design and implementation of Business Processes using existing Process modeling languages in order to allow the support of context-aware Process enactment.

  • a strategy driven Business Process Modelling approach
    Business Process Management Journal, 2005
    Co-Authors: Selmin Nurcan, Anne Etien, Rim Samia Kaabi, Iyad Zoukar, Colette Rolland
    Abstract:

    – Most of the Process models concentrate on who does what, when, i.e. on the description of the operational performance of tasks. The goal driven approaches try to establish a close relationship between the “whys” and the “whats”. The former captures the strategic goals of the organisation whereas the latter tells us how they are achieved through tasks carried out by actors. In addition, managers do not naturally make the distinction between what to achieve (the goal) and the manner to achieve it (the strategy). This confusion often leads to the expression of manners as goals. In order to make clear the fundamental distinction between these two concerns and to master the complexity of Process Modelling, this paper seeks to propose a goal‐perspective, the map‐driven Process Modelling approach., – The map representation system conforms to goal models in the fact that it recognises the concept of a goal but departs from those by introducing the concept of strategy to attain a goal., – A Business and its supporting system change in a concurrent way. In order to help the propagation of the intentional changes onto operational ones, we adopted the two levels hierarchical spiral Process model. The intentional spiral deals with the production of the Business Process models using the map formalism and the operational one deals with the specifications of the supporting systems., – A Business Process is defined in terms of goals and strategies of reaching these goals. The approach allows choosing an appropriate level of details when analysing and redesigning Business Processes.
