    Business process compliance checking: Current state and future challenges
    (Modellierung betrieblicher Informationssysteme (MobIS 2008), 2008) Kharbili, Marwane el; Medeiros, Ana Karla Alves de; Stein, Sebastian; Aalst, Wil M. P. van der
    Regulatory compliance sets new requirements for business process management (BPM). Companies seek to enhance their corporate governance processes and are required to put in place measures for ensuring compliance to regulations. In this sense, this position paper (i) reviews the current work in the context of BPM systems and (ii) suggests future directions to improve the current status. During the literature review, techniques are classified as supporting forward or backward compliance. The latter is a post-execution compliance (i.e. based on execution histories of systems) and the former takes place at designor run-time. In a nutshell, this position paper claims that four main aspects need to be incorporated by current compliance checking techniques: (i) an integrated approach able to cover the full BPM life-cycle, (ii) the support for compliance checks beyond control-flow-related aspects, (iii) intuitive graphical notations for business analysts, and (iv) embedding semantic technologies during the definition, deployment and executions of compliance checks.

    Semantic compliance management in business process management
    (Business process, services – computing and intelligent service management, 2009) Kharbili, Marwane el
    Processes count to the most important assets of companies. Ensuring the compliance of processes to legal regulations, governance guidelines, and strategic business requirements is indispensable to controlling business behavior. Implementing business process compliance requires means for modeling and enforcing compliance measures. In this work, we motivate the need for automation in compliance management and introduce the role of policies. We propose a policy-based framework for business process compliance management and detail its architecture as part of the SUPER research project on semantic business process management.

    A semantic framework for compliance management in business process management
    (Business process, services – computing and intelligent service management, 2009) Kharbili, Marwane el; Pulvermüller, Elke
    In process-centric enterprises, business processes (BPs) are at the center of value-creating activities. Governing enterprise BPs requires the ability to control and guide BP behavior. Ensuring compliance of processes to legal regulations and strategy directives becomes a critical requirement. Implementing business process compliance makes means for modeling and enforcing compliance measures necessary. In this work, we motivate the need for automation and semantic consistency in compliance management and defend the use of policies for this purpose. We then propose a policy-based framework for business process compliance management and further detail its architecture as part of the SUPER research project on semantic business process management (SBPM). Finally, we introduce the ontology stack we propose for compliance modeling and conclude by an investigation of the main challenges ahead in order to provide an implementation of the proposed framework. This work seeks to lay down the fundaments of a comprehensive architecture for semantic compliance modeling and enforcement in the context of BPM.

    Using template analysis as background reading technique forrequirements elicitation
    (Software Engineering 2009, 2009) Stein, Sebastian; Lauer, Yves; Kharbili, Marwane el
    Requirements cannot be collected, but must be elicited from people's tacit and systems' embedded knowledge. It is a proven approach to use existing systems and manuals as a source. Literature suggests using background reading to elicit requirements from domain descriptions and manuals. Besides content analysis, no concrete technique describing how to actually conduct background reading is available in literature. In this paper, we evaluate the usage of template analysis as a technique for background reading. We applied template analysis in a project to extract requirements from 35 success stories about process performance management. We found template analysis to be very useful not just for eliciting requirements and creating a shared understanding of the studied domain, but also for helping new employees to get familiar with the domain. We also formulated competence questions to document and communicate requirements, but this did not prove helpful and hence we would not recommend it.
