    Constructing a Semantic Business Process Modelling Language for the Banking Sector - An Evolutionary Dyadic Design Science Approach
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures - An International Journal: Vol. 5, Nr. 1, 2010) Becker, Jörg; Thome, Irina; Weiß, Burkhard; Winkelmann, Axel
    The need to extensively model business processes for multiple purposes (e.g., documentation, compliance management, analysis and optimisation etc.) is of major relevance to banks. Efficiently modelling and automatically analysing business process models not only in a syntactical but also in a semantic way becomes increasingly important in order to save costs during process model construction and achieve additional value from process modelling initiatives. In this article, we introduce a domain-specific semantic business process modelling language (BPML), which supports efficient modelling and semantic analysis needs of banks. We do this by adapting an existing domain-specific BPML from the public sector and applying an evolutionary design science research approach that covers several design science cycle iterations. We triangulate and evaluate the final design science artefact (a new semantic BPML for banks) with the help of a multi-method approach using interviews, round table discussions, document analysis, literature analysis and two in-depth case studies from a specialised bank and a universal bank in the financial sector.

    Pattern Specification and Matching in Conceptual Models - A Generic Approach Based on Set Operations
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures - An International Journal: Vol. 5, Nr. 3, 2010) Delfmann, Patrick; Herwig, Sebastian; Lis, Łukasz; Stein, Armin; Tent, Katrin; Becker, Jörg
    Searching for patterns in conceptual models is useful for a number of purposes, for example revealing syntactical errors, model comparison, and identification of business process improvement potentials. In this contribution, we introduce a formal approach for the specification and matching of structural patterns in conceptual models. Unlike existing approaches, we do not focus on a certain application problem or a specific modelling language. Instead, our approach is generic making it applicable for any pattern matching purpose and most conceptual modelling languages. In order to build sets representing structural model patterns, we define formal operations based on set theory, which can be applied to arbitrary models represented by sets. The basic sets represent the model elements, which in turn originate from the modelling language specification’s instances. Besides a conceptual and formal specification of our approach, we present particular application examples and a prototypical modelling tool showing its general applicability.
