    What Makes Process Modelling Effective – Modelling or Project Factors?
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Iden, Jon; Opdahl, Andreas L.; Eikebrokk, Tom R.; Olsen, Dag H.
    Process modelling is a central topic in the information systems field. This paper reports from an empirical study of 34 Norwegian process change projects where process modelling was used. The paper investigates which factors that were most important for effective process modelling: project-specific factors or modelling-related factors? By comparing the practices of the most effective initiatives with those of the less effective, this paper concludes that project-specific factors matter more than modelling-related factors.

    Service-Oriented Architecture for Knowledge-enriched Workflows Modelling and Execution
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Vidal, Juan C.; Lama, Manuel; Bugarín, Alberto
    This work presents a Service-Oriented Architecture that supports the man- agement, execution and monitoring of knowledge-enriched workflows. This archi- tecture is based (i) on a framework that allows the specification of workflows from knowledge components; and (ii) on the interfaces that are defined in the workflow reference model proposed by the Workflow Management Coalition.

    Human Collaborative Workflow and Business Process and Services Computing
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Takayama, Yoichi; Ghiglione, Ernie; Wilson, Scott; Dalziel, James
    Comparing our collaborative human workflow system to existing business process and services computing (BPSC) and workflow models showed that main differences of human workflow are concepts such as human flow, collaborative activity and sub-grouped activity. The possible impact of these findings on the forthcoming implementation of BPSC models that deal with human activities is discussed.

    Modelling Business Process Performance
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Staniszkis, Witold
    We present a business process performance evaluation approach based on a hierarchy of interacting analytical performance models from semantic- oriented key performance indicator model through to the resource allocation optimisation model. Discussion of the human-centric process performance evaluation supported by the state-of-the-art presentation provides the motivation for our research work. Presentation of the hierarchical performance modelling architecture is followed by the detailed presentation of the component models representing respective performance evaluation perspectives.

    A Capability Oriented Management Approach for Business Integration
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Pulvermueller, Elke; Ludwig, André; Belter, Roman; Zyskowski, Dominik; Heindl, Ulrich; Nguyen, Xuan Thang
    Service oriented architecture (SOA) has emerged as a popular software paradigm for integrating distributed applications. Services are generally regarded as interoperable building blocks for constructing, integrating, and merging applications. However, existing SOA based solutions often focus on solving technical integration problems while neglecting business-level capabilities which are most important for organizations. In this paper, we introduce the notion of capabilities as an important concept for business management. We identify major shortcomings of the existing service based solutions and outline a novel approach for capability oriented configu- ration and management that can react to the dynamically changing nature of business integration environments.

    Business Process Validation
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Speck, Andreas
    Business processes and workflows are crucial elements in the design and development of commercial systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) or e-commerce systems and many more. Despite their important role there are little means to ensure the correctness of these processes and workflows as well as consistency between them. In contrast to other verification problems the semantics of business processes to be checked are less explicit and formalised. Nevertheless the processes and workflows have to be considered as highly complex and are consisting in most cases out of a very large number of sub- processes which are very hard to be overlooked manually. Means for ensuring the quality of business processes may be business rules and guidelines driven by experience and domain knowledge. Adequate models for static dependencies and dynamic behaviour and modelling tools help capturing the important semantics. Verification technology like model checking will support the quality assurance.

    Semantic Business Process Management in ERP-centric Environments
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Hepp, Martin
    A core challenge in Business Process Management is the continuous, bi- directional translation between (1) a business requirements view on the process space of an enterprise and (2) the actual process space of this enterprise, constituted by the multiplicity of IT systems, resources, and human labor. Semantic Business Process Management (SBPM) is a novel approach of increasing the level of automation in the translation between these two spheres, and is currently driven by major players from the ERP, BPM, and Semantic Web Services domain, namely SAP . One core paradigm of SPBM is to represent the two spheres and their parts using ontology languages and to employ machine reasoning for the automated or semi-automated translation. This talk introduces the core concepts of SBPM, outlines the representational requirements, and discusses the fit of SBPM and ontologies in general to ERP-centric IT landscapes in enterprises and value chains.

    On System Capabilities and Customer Requirements in ERP Implementations
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Araujo, Ildemaro
    As pre-packaged solutions developed for a generic customer, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems cannot satisfy ‘out of the box’ all the specific requirements of every entity where they are deployed, due to differences between the ERP application and the business model. The identification of disparities between the organization requirements and the ERP system capabilities allows determining ad- justments expected in organizational practices to match the way the ERP application works, as well as modifications, customizations, or extensions needed in the software to fit inadequately addressed business processes. This article focuses on this issue by reviewing current methods that try to identify and bridge gaps between business requirements and system capabilities in ERP implementations.

    A Native Approach to Service Oriented Modeling and Implementing of Business Processes
    (Business process and services computing – 1st international working conference on business process and services computing – BPSC 2007, 2007) Gruber, Jacek; Brzozowski, Tomasz
    For the last few years Sybase Company [SYB] proved its commitment to improving business modeling by creating integrated infrastructure for modeling enterprise businesses. Thanks to the incorporation of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web services and business process execution languages, Sybase has significantly extended business modeling in almost every direction. This article is intended to provide a short survey of Sybase approach, examining its usage and related key aspects - among them: defining static and dynamic view of business organization, implementing business processes by specifying external services and deploying processes to a target execution platform, which allows orchestration and execution simulation.
