In Business Process Management (BPM), effectively comprehending process models is crucial yet poses significant challenges, particularly as organizations scale and processes become more complex. This paper introduces a novel framework…
Shared Memory is a mechanism that allows several processes to communicate with each other by accessing -- writing or reading -- a set of variables that they have in common. A Consistency Model defines how each process observes the state of…
Data-driven analysis of business processes has a long tradition in research. However, recently the term of process mining is mostly used when referring to data-driven process analysis. As a consequence, awareness for the many facets of…
Process mining has grown popular today given their ability to provide managers with insights into the actual business process as executed by employees. Process mining depends on event logs found in process aware information systems to model…
A classical problem in Software Engineering is how to certify that every system requirement is correctly implemented by source code. This problem, albeit well studied, can still be considered an open one, given the problems faced by…
Performance management (PM) is a key function of virtual organization (VO) management. A large set of PM indicators has been proposed and evaluated within the context of virtual breeding environments (VBEs). However, it is currently…
The Unified Modeling Language UML is a language for specifying visualizing and documenting object oriented systems UML combines the concepts of OOA OODOMT and OOSE and is intended as a standard in the domain of object oriented analysis and…
Purpose- The significance of business processes has fostered a close collaboration between academia and industry. Moreover, the business landscape has witnessed continuous transformation, closely intertwined with technological advancements.…
Conceptual modeling is an essential tool in many fields of study, including security specification in information technology systems. As a model, it restricts access to resources and identifies possible threats to the system. We claim that…
Recent advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), have stimulated growing interest in automating or assisting Business Process Modeling tasks using natural language. Several approaches have…
Enterprises are currently undergoing profound transformations due to the unpostponable digital transformation. Then, to remain competitive, enterprises must adapt digital solutions, transforming their organisational structures and…
Process mining is a technique that performs an automatic analysis of business processes from a log of events with the promise of understanding how processes are executed in an organisation. Several models have been proposed to address this…
In modern enterprises, Business Processes (BPs) are realized over a mix of workflows, IT systems, Web services and direct collaborations of people. Accordingly, process data (i.e., BP execution data such as logs containing events,…
This paper concentrates on the representation of the legal relations that obtain between parties once they have entered a contractual agreement and their evolution as the agreement progresses through time. Contracts are regarded as process…
Blockchain technology promises a sizable potential for executing inter-organizational business processes without requiring a central party serving as a single point of trust (and failure). This paper analyzes its impact on business process…
In theory, ontology-based process modelling (OBPM) bares great potential to extend business process management. Many works have studied OBPM and are clear on the potential amenities, such as eliminating ambiguities or enabling advanced…
Binary "YES-NO" notions of process compliance are not very helpful to managers for assessing the operational performance of their company because a large number of cases fall in the grey area of partial compliance. Hence, it is necessary to…
Modular production systems that employ the Module Type Package (MTP) to describe module interfaces can, at present, only communicate energy data through proprietary solutions. Due to this limitation, users face additional effort when…
The paper proposes a more formalized definition of UML 2.0 Activity Diagram semantics. A subset of activity diagram constructs relevant for business process modeling is considered. The semantics definition is based on the original token…
Existing model-based processes for embedded real-time systems support the analysis of various non-functional properties, most notably schedulability, through model checking, simulation or other means. The analysis results are then used for…
