Case Management supports knowledge workers in performing knowledge-intensive processes in a flexible way. An essential ingredient of Case Management are template processes that are modified for a specific case to suit the context of that…
Developing complex software requires that multiple views and versions of the software can be developed in parallel and merged as supported by views and managed by version control systems. In this context, this paper considers monitoring…
In a global business context with continuous changes, the enterprises have to enhance their operational efficiency, to react more quickly, to ensure the flexibility of their business processes, and to build new collaboration pathways with…
Process modeling is usually done using imperative modeling languages like BPMN or EPCs. In order to cope with the complexity of human-centric and flexible business processes several declarative process modeling languages (DPMLs) have been…
Industrial manufacturers increasingly develop digital platforms in the business-to-business (B2B) context. This emergent form of digital platforms requires a profound yet little understood holistic perspective that encompasses the…
Commercially available business process management systems (BPMS) still suffer to support organizations to enact their business processes in an effective and efficient way. Current BPMS, in general, are based on BPMN 2.0 and/or BPEL. It is…
In the domain of software engineering, our efforts as researchers to advise industry on which software practices might be applied most effectively are limited by our lack of evidence based information about the relationships between context…
The adoption of heterogeneous computing systems based on diverse architectures to achieve exascale computing power has worsened the performance portability problem of scientific applications that were designed to run on these platforms. To…
Inspired by applications in sports where the skill of players or teams competing against each other varies over time, we propose a probabilistic model of pairwise-comparison outcomes that can capture a wide range of time dynamics. We…
The computability power of a distributed computing model is determined by the communication media available to the processes, the timing assumptions about processes and communication, and the nature of failures that processes can suffer. In…
Analysing the development process for an ERP solution, in our case SAP, is one of the most critical processes in implementing standard software packages. Modelling of the proposed system can facilitate the development of enterprise systems…
Variability in Business Process modeling has already been faced by different authors from the literature. Depending on the context in which each author faces the modeling problem, we find different approaches (C-EPC, C-YAWL, FEATURE-EPC,…
Software Product Line Engineering has attracted attention in the last two decades due to its promising capabilities to reduce costs and time to market through reuse of requirements and components. In practice, developing system level…
A new approach to designing processor accelerators is presented. A new computing model and a special kind of accelerator with dynamic (end-user programmable) architecture is suggested. The new model considers a processor, in which a newly…
The development of critical systems is becoming more and more complex. The overall tendency is that development costs raise. In order to cut cost of development, companies are forced to build systems from proven components and larger new…
We employ supervisory controllers to safely coordinate high-level discrete(-event) behavior of distributed components of complex systems. Supervisory controllers observe discrete-event system behavior, make a decision on allowed activities,…
Mathematical models of infectious disease transmission typically neglect within-host dynamics. Yet within-host dynamics - including pathogen replication, host immune responses, and interactions with microbiota - are crucial not only for…
Business process (BP) analysis represents a first key phase of information system development. It consists in the gathering of domain knowledge and its organization to be later used in the software development, and beyond (e.g., for…
Nowadays, many individuals and teams involved on projects are already using agile development techniques as part of their daily work. However, we have much less experience in how to scale and manage agile practices in distributed software…
The analysis of configurable systems, i.e., systems those behaviors depend on parameters or support various features, is challenging due to the exponential blowup arising in the number of configuration options. This volume contains the…
