  • visual Modeling of Business Process compliance rules with the support of multiple perspectives
    International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, 2013
    Co-Authors: David Knuplesch, Manfred Reichert, Linh Thao Ly, Akhil Kumar, Stefanie Rinderlema
    Abstract:

    A fundamental challenge for any Process-aware information system is to ensure compliance of modeled and executed Business Processes with imposed compliance rules stemming from guidelines, standards and laws. Such compliance rules usually refer to multiple Process perspectives including control flow, time, resources, data, and interactions with Business partners. On one hand, compliance rules should be comprehensible for domain experts who must define and apply them. On the other, they should have a precise semantics such that they can be automatically Processed. In this context, providing a visual compliance rule language seems promising as it allows hiding formal details and offers an intuitive way of Modeling. So far, visual compliance rule languages have focused on the control flow perspective, but lack adequate support for the other perspectives. To remedy this drawback, this paper provides an approach that extends visual compliance rule languages with the ability to consider data, time, resources, and partner interactions when Modeling Business Process compliance rules. Overall, this extension will foster Business Process compliance support in practice.

  • ICEBE - An agile method of Modeling Business Process simulation for virtual enterprises
    IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE'05), 2005
    Co-Authors: Shaowu Cheng, Xiaofei Xu, Gang Wang, Quanlong Li
    Abstract:

    The agility of Modeling Business Process simulation (BPS) is required by virtual enterprises. Firstly with some new concepts, such as the atomic Business Process simulation model (BPSM) and the Business Process simulation federation (BPSF) etc., a frame of Business Process simulation model for virtual enterprises (VE-BPSM) is presented. Business Processes of a member enterprise are classified into three groups: internal, external and hybrid event-triggered Processes. The inter-relationship among them is discussed. To facilitate the Business Process simulation model for a member enterprise (ME-BPSM) to be reused, every external-event-triggered BPSM or every hybrid event-triggered BPSM is built as an atomic Business Process simulation model (atomic-BPSM). The VE-BPSM can be built as a BPSF through combining atomic-BPSM of member enterprises, so the agility of Modeling BPS for a virtual enterprise could be achieved. Finally, an HLA-based method of developing a VE-BPSM is discussed

  • A Visual Language for Modeling Business Process Compliance Rules
    2020
    Co-Authors: David Knuplesch, Manfred Reichert
    Abstract:

    A fundamental challenge for enterprises is to ensure compliance of their Business Processes with imposed compliance rules stemming from various sources, e.g., corporate guidelines, best practices, standards, and laws. In general, a compliance rule may refer to multiple Process perspectives including control flow, time, data, resources, and interactions with Business partners. On one hand, compliance rules should be comprehensible for domain experts who must define, verify and apply them. On the other, these rules should have a precise semantics to avoid ambiguities and enable their automated Processing. Providing a visual language is advantageous in this context as it allows hiding formal details and offering an intuitive way of Modeling the compliance rules. However, existing visual languages for compliance rule Modeling have focused on the control flow perspective so far, but lack proper support for the other Process perspectives. To remedy this drawback, this paper introduces the extended Compliance Rule Graph language, which enables the visual Modeling of compliance rules with the support of multiple perspectives. Overall, this language will foster the Modeling and verification of compliance rules in practice.

  • Services computing as the foundation of enterprise agility: Overview of recent advances and introduction to the special issue
    Information Systems Frontiers, 2007
    Co-Authors: J. Leon Zhao, Mohan Tanniru, Liang-jie Zhang
    Abstract:

    The advancement of web services in the last few years has spurred a number of revolutionary concepts in information technology and management including service-oriented architectures, service-oriented computing, and services science, management and engineering, which can be collectively called as “services computing.” Services computing is a new research field that goes beyond traditional computing disciplines as it includes not only architectural, programming, deployment, and other engineering issues, but also management issues such as Business component Modeling, Business Process design, and service delivery. In this paper, we provide an overview of emerging research concepts in services computing without attempting to unify them as it will take sometime for the field to become mature. In addition, we take a position that the ultimate goal of services computing is to create the necessary technological and managerial foundation to support enterprise agility. In this short paper, we give an overview of services computing, describe its relationship to enterprise agility, and discuss basic technical and managerial issues. Finally, we introduce the papers that are published in this special issue.
