The paper proposes a new methodology for defining business process measures and their computation. The approach is based on metamodeling according to MOF. Especially, a metamodel providing precise definitions of typical process measures for…
This article introduces a metamodel for the Business Model Canvas (BMC) using the Unified Modelling Language (UML), together with a dedicated Domain-Specific Modelling Language (DSML) tool. Although the BMC is widely adopted by both…
If a modeling task is distributed, it will frequently be necessary to integrate models developed by different team members. Problems occur in the models integration step and particularly, in the comparison phase of the integration. This…
The thesis discusses topics related to the development of business process management systems. Business process management systems have evolved on the basis of workflow management systems through incremental inclusion of standard…
With the market competition aggravating, it becomes necessary for market players to adopt a business model which can adopt dynamic business changes. Any enterprise has the possibility to win in the competition only when it forms the…
In the systems and software modeling field, a conceptual model involves modeling with concepts to support development and design. An example of a conceptual model is a description developed using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML…
We discuss questions about user centric development of business process modeling notations. In the center of our research there is a fully featured multi-enterprise business process platform (ME-BPP) based on the concepts of agent-based…
While developing an information system for the University of Bern, we were faced with two major issues: managing software changes and adapting Business Information Models. Software techniques well-suited to software development teams exist,…
Every business needs knowledge about their competitors to survive better. One of the information repositories is web. Retrieving Specific information from the web is challenging. An Ontological model is developed to capture specific…
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…
Research on the role of Large Language Models (LLMs) in business models and services is limited. Previous studies have utilized econometric models, technical showcases, and literature reviews. However, this research is pioneering in its…
The design of business processes involves the usage of modeling languages, tools and methodologies. In this paper we highlight and address a relevant limitation of the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN): its weak data representation…
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…
Information system designers face many challenges w.r.t. selecting appropriate semantic technologies and deciding on a modelling approach for their system. However, there is no clear methodology yet to evaluate "semantically enriched"…
Traditionally system design has been made from a black box/functionality only perspective which forces the developer to concentrate on how the functionality can be decomposed and recomposed into so called components. While this technique is…
Enterprise modeling deals with the increasing complexity of processes and systems by operationalizing model content and by linking complementary models and languages, thus amplifying the model-value beyond mere comprehensible pictures. To…
Metadata are like the steam engine of the 21st century, driving businesses and offer multiple enhancements. Nevertheless, many companies are unaware that these data can be used efficiently to improve their own operation. This is where the…
This paper presents an integration between DEMO (Design and Engineering Methodology for Organizations) and BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation). While BPMN is widely used for its intuitive, flow-based representation of business…
The design of conceptually sound metamodels that embody proper semantics in relation to the application domain is particularly tedious in Model-Driven Engineering. As metamodels define complex relationships between domain concepts, it is…
Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) provides a standard for the design of business processes. It focuses on bridging the gap between the analysis and the technical perspectives, and aims to deliver process automation. The aim of this…
