Parallel and distributed application design is a major area of interest in the domain of high performance scientific and industrial computing. Over the years, various approaches have been proposed to aid parallel program developers to…
This paper proposes an introduction to one of the newest modelling methods, an executable model based on workflows. We present the terminology for some basic workflow patterns, as described in the Workflow Management Coalition Terminology…
Business Process Management (BPM) is gaining increasing attention as it has the potential to cut costs while boosting output and quality. Business process document generation is a crucial stage in BPM. However, due to a shortage of…
Integration Adapters are a fundamental part of an integration system, since they provide (business) applications access to its messaging channel. However, their modeling and configuration remain under-represented. In previous work, the…
Change management for evolving collaborative business process development is crucial when the business logic, transections and workflow change due to changes in business strategies or organizational and technical environment. During the…
Software systems development nowadays has moved towards dynamic composition of services that run on distributed infrastructures aligned with continuous changes in the system requirements. Consequently, software developers need to tailor…
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) still depend heavily on tacit, experience-based know-how that rarely makes its way into formal documentation. This paper introduces a large-language-model (LLM)-driven conversational assistant that…
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) produce behavior through execution on substrates coupling computation with physical processes. However, usual engineering approaches do not treat execution semantics as first-class engineering entities. Formal…
Collaborative filtering is one of the most fundamental topics for recommender systems. Various methods have been proposed for collaborative filtering, ranging from matrix factorization to graph convolutional methods. Being inspired by…
The business model represents an increasingly important management concept. However, progress in research related to the concept is currently inhibited from inconsistencies in terms of formalizing and therewith also empirically measuring…
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,…
Workflow management systems allow the users to develop complex applications at a higher level, by orchestrating functional components without handling the implementation details. Although a wide range of workflow engines are developed in…
Distributed dataflow systems enable the use of clusters for scalable data analytics. However, selecting appropriate cluster resources for a processing job is often not straightforward. Performance models trained on historical executions of…
Data sharing is central to a wide variety of applications such as fraud detection, ad matching, and research. The lack of data sharing abstractions makes the solution to each data sharing problem bespoke and cost-intensive, hampering value…
Context: Blockchain-based software (BBS) exploits the concepts and technologies popularized by cryptocurrencies offering decentralized transaction ledgers with immutable content for security-critical and transaction critical systems. Recent…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have facilitated the definition of autonomous intelligent agents. Such agents have already demonstrated their potential in solving complex tasks in different domains. And they can further increase their…
Security Policies (SP) constitute the core of communication networks protection infrastructures. It offers a set of rules allowing differentiating between legitimate actions and prohibited ones and consequently, associates each entity in…
The comprehension of business process models is crucial for enterprises. Prior research has shown that children as well as adolescents perceive and interpret graphical representations in a different manner compared to grown-ups. To evaluate…
We describe some progress towards a new common framework for model driven engineering, based on behavioral programming. The tool we have developed unifies almost all of the work done in behavioral programming so far, under a common set of…
Major domains such as logistics, healthcare, and smart cities increasingly rely on sensor technologies and distributed infrastructures to monitor complex processes in real time. These developments are transforming the data landscape from…
