- KonferenzbeitragOn the notion of context for business process use(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Kröschel, IvonneIn today's distributed and dynamic business environment companies and their business processes are frequently subject to changes, requiring the ability to continuously evolve business processes in a flexible and dynamic way according to changing external conditions. Taking flexibility as the ability to react to changes by adaptation, it appears appropriate to take the environment, where a change occurs, into account when designing business processes. We propose that the notion of context is key for achieving this objective. Based on a multiperspective analysis we derive a conceptualization of context for business process use that may help to improve the understanding of the notion of context for its integration in BPM.
- KonferenzbeitragFlexible workflows for an energy-oriented product development process(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Reichel, Thomas; Rünger, Gudula; Steger, DanielProduct development processes are flexible and dynamic in nature. In this domain, workflows are commonly used for representing business processes in change management or for document management. The product development process itself can hardly be represented by a business process that is defined in a design phase and fixed during runtime. However, the workflow technique can be extended by concepts for flexible workflows. Many workflow management systems now provide solutions for flexible process changes. In this article, hierarchical workflows and dynamically selectable sub-workflows are introduced to enable a flexible workflow execution on a standard workflow management system. As proof of concept flexible workflows are applied to an energy-oriented product development process.
- KonferenzbeitragCase study on extending Internet of services techniques to real-world services(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Spillner, Josef; Kursawe, Ronny; Schill, AlexanderThe Internet of Services promotes distributable, composable and tradeable services as first-class entities. Such services are assumed to encompass the full range from electronic web services to conventional business services. However, research and development of service models and platforms to realise the Internet of Services vision has largely been concentrating on pure technical services. In this case study, we have applied modelling and registration techniques to existing business services with none or few technical components. We outline the results of suitability and acceptance aspects and include an evaluation of the new Unified Service Description Language (USDL) compared to the Web Services Modelling Language (WSML) in the context of real-world service representation.
- KonferenzbeitragDeep business optimization: A platform for automated process optimization(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Niedermann, Florian; Radeschütz, Sylvia; Mitschang, BernhardThe efficient and effective design, execution and adaption of its core processes is vital for the success of most businesses and a major source of competitive advantage. Despite this critical importance, process optimization today largely depends on manual analytics and the ability of business analysts to spot the 'right' designs and areas of improvement. This is because current techniques typically fall short in three areas: they fail to integrate relevant data sources, they do not provide optimal analytical procedures and they leave it up to analysts to identify the best process design. Hence, we propose in this paper a platform that enables (semi-)automated process optimization during the process design, execution and analysis stages, based on insights from specialized analytical procedures running on an integrated warehouse containing both process and operational data. We further detail the analysis stage, as it provides the foundation for all other optimization stages.
- KonferenzbeitragEssential aspects of compliance management with focus on business process automation(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Schumm, David; Anstett, Tobias; Leymann, Frank; Schleicher, Daniel; Strauch, SteveCompliance requirements coming from laws, regulations and internal policies constrain how a company may carry out its business. A company must take various different actions for preventing compliance violations and for detecting them. Business processes have to be changed accordingly in order to adhere to these requirements. Manual controls need to be installed in order to affect the work which is done outside of IT systems. Technical controls are required for assuring compliance within IT systems. In this paper, we present a compliance management model that captures the compliance problem from a holistic point of view. We elaborate on a technical control which is called compliance fragment and we position it in the compliance management model. A compliance fragment is a connected, possibly incomplete process graph that can be used as a reusable building block for ensuring a consistent specification and integration of compliance into a workflow. In particular, we propose language extensions to BPEL for representing compliance fragments. Furthermore, we introduce a methodology for integrating compliance fragments into given workflows.
- KonferenzbeitragA tool for evaluationg the quality of business process models(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Makni, Lobna; Khlif, Wiem; Zaaboub Haddar, Nahla; Ben-Abdallah, HanèneModeling business processes is an essential task when aligning, improving or automating existing business processes. To be efficient in such tasks, a business process model must be understandable, reusable and easily maintainable. For assessing the quality of a business process model, a set of quality metrics have been proposed either by adapting some mature software quality metrics, or by defining new metrics specific for business processes. The aim of this paper is to classify the quality metrics proposed so far within a framework defined in terms of design perspectives, and to implement this framework in a tool assisting in the evaluation of the quality of business process models. This tool helps the designers to select a subset of quality metrics corresponding to each design perspective and to calculate and interpret their values in order to improve the quality of their model.
- KonferenzbeitragSelection of the best composite web service based on quality of service(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Haddad, Serge; Mokdad, Lynda; Youcef, SamirThe paper proposes a general framework to composite Web services selection based on multicriteria evaluation. The proposed framework extends the Web services architecture by adding, in the registry, a new Multicriteria Evaluation Component (MEC) devoted to multicriteria evaluation. This additional component takes as input a set of composite Web services and a set of evaluation criteria and generates a set of recommended composite Web services. In addition to the description of the conceptual architecture of the formwork, the paper also proposes solutions to construct and evaluate composite web services. In order to show the feasibility of the proposed architecture, we have developed a prototype based on the open source jUDDI registry.
- KonferenzbeitragUnderstanding the value of business process configuration(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Carroll, Noel; Whelan, Eoin; Richardson, ItaIn order to deliver effective services, providers are being advised to `innovate' their service delivery systems. Innovation in this context often refers to technology, technique or restructuring improvements. However, the difficulty is that in the modern organisation, service delivery is dispersed across a complex network of numerous departments and units. There are greater pressures on organisational service systems to deliver a higher quality and more efficient service. Management must attempt to develop a greater understanding of organisational process and where improvements may be made using business process management (BPM). The network approach ultimately makes service innovations more difficult to implement. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate how service innovation is managed across a service network. Specifically, we examine the effectiveness of a technique called `social network analysis' (SNA) in extending business process management to enhance the manageability of network based services. This paper sets out to provide a state of the art literature review on the short fallings of our ability to understand what triggers business value. It examines the effects of our inability to understand the influence of business process behaviour on service innovation. It also provides a conceptual account of how SNA can be a powerful tool for managers to understand organisational network performance and service interaction (e.g. behavioural, functional, and structural).
- KonferenzbeitragAd-hoc management capabilities for distributed business processes(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Zaplata, Sonja; Bade, Dirk; Hamann, Kristof; Lamersdorf, Winfried; Straßenburg, Daniel; Wunderlich, BenjaminAdvanced business processes are mostly distributed and require highly flexible management capabilities. In such scenarios, process parts often leave their initiator's direct sphere of influence - while management requires both monitoring as well as instant reaction capabilities anytime during the overall execution of the process. However, realizing such functions is often difficult, e.g. due to the heterogeneity and temporal disconnectivity of participating execution systems. Therefore, this contribution proposes a two-tier concept for monitoring and controlling distributed processes by representing a process management system as a manageable resource according to the WSDM standard. Based on a minimal shared model of management capabilities it allows to define customized events and processing rules for influencing business processes executed on a remote (and even on a temporarily disconnected) process management system. Applicability is demonstrated by a scenario-based evaluation on distributed WS-BPEL and XPDL processes.
- KonferenzbeitragService-oriented supply chain event management – A case study from the fashion industry(INFORMATIK 2010 – Business Process and Service Science – Proceedings of ISSS and BPSC, 2010) Troeger, Ralph; Alt, RainerService-oriented architectures (SOA) are spreading in many organizations and aim at enhancing efficiency, agility, and productivity of business processes. Standardization and modularity enable the networking of applicationbased business functionalities especially in inter-organizational settings. This research analyzes the potentials of SOA in the domain of supply chain management (SCM), in particular supply chain event management (SCEM). Among the findings is that SCEM applications focus on specific functionalities and that integration of multiple application is required to support the entire SCEM process. Based on a systematic methodology, the key services required for SCEM are identified also using a case study from the fashion industry.
