    BPMN for Disaster Response Processes
    (INFORMATIK 2017, 2017) Betke, Hans; Seifert, Michael
    The application of business process management (BPM) methods to disaster response management (DRM) is a frequently discussed issue. Although it is seen as very challenging the potential benefits of BPM-methods to increase effectivity and efficiency in planning and monitoring the several activities of disaster management and their related resources are promising. The use of a standard modelling language like Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is recommended because of its prevalence and maturity of available tools. However, the standard set of elements in BPMN is not comprehensible enough to take account of some special requirements of DRM like importance of place-related information or multiple different resources. The research in this paper presents a methodological extension of BPMN based on an ontology of critical DRM-interrelations used to enhance the BPMN meta-model.

    A Cross-Disciplinary Process Modelling Language for Validating Reconfigured Production Processes
    (Modellierung 2022, 2022) Koch, Sandro; Wunderlich, Tim; Hansert, Jonas; Schlegel, Thomas; Ihlenfeldt, Steffen; Heinrich, Robert
    Modelling and reconfiguration of production processes require knowledge across different domains. This in-depth knowledge is necessary to avoid possible side effects that could threaten the production plant, the workpiece or the worker. Therefore, process modelling approaches allow adding additional data to the steps of a process. Such additions can be constraints, which need to be fulfilled before a step can be executed. Upon reconfiguration of production processes, these constraints need to be validated to ensure that the objective of the process is still met. However, this task demands expertise in the field of process modelling as well as in the domain of the production process and the production plant. To the best of our knowledge, state-of-the-art production process modelling approaches are unable to determine the semantic validity of a reconfigured production process. In this paper, we introduce a domain-specific modelling language dedicated to model and validate constraints between production steps.With this approach, we aim to assist the operator in reconfiguring production processes. We evaluate this approach in three case studies and show that our approach can detect violated constraints in production processes.

    Development of a Domain-Specific Language for Run-Time Process Modelling
    (INFORMATIK 2017, 2017) Jannaber, Sven; Zobel, Benedikt; Riehle, Dennis M.; Thomas, Oliver; Becker, Jörg
    Wearable devices pose novel challenges to the BPM field. The advanced functionality in combination with the increased mobility has rendered devices such as smart glasses particularly suited for mobile process support. However, whereas this support is predominantly limited to information provision and workflow management, the glasses’ capability to be utilized for actual process modelling has yet to be investigated. As a first step, this paper proposes an outlook on the development of a process modelling language that is specifically tailored towards the application domain smart glasses and can be applied for both modelling and representing business processes using a glasses-based modelling environment. A demonstration case is provided to highlight the utilization of process modelling on smart glasses.

    Development of a prototype for Smart Glasses-based process modelling
    (Modellierung 2018, 2018) Jannaber, Sven; Zobel, Benedikt; Berkemeier, Lisa; Thomas, Oliver
    The integration of mobile technology is considered a major challenge for the BPM domain. Wearable devices such as smart glasses have already been successfully applied in high-mobility fields as technical services. However, the utilization of smart glasses to document and model processes still remains on a conceptual level and has not yet been instantiated. To this end, the paper demonstrates a prototype that enables the usage of smart glasses for process modelling. It is shown how glasses-specific functionality e.g. voice recognition and audio/video recording can incorporated into a modelling environment that facilitates the run-time modelling of processes, even for modelling novices.

    The Process Checklist
    (Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures - An International Journal: Vol. 12, Nr. 1, 2017) Baumann, Michaela; Baumann, Michael Heinrich; Schönig, Stefan; Jablonski, Stefan
    When enterprises are determined to introduce process management, they usually aim at IT system supported execution of processes by Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) or Process-aware Information Systems. In constrast to this common tendency of process technology, we introduce a paper-based scheme to enact and execute human-driven processes in the work at hand. Our approach is motivated by insights into problems of firms that tried to establish process technology and failed with conventional methods. One of the design objectives for our scheme was to provide a straightforward, quickly viable alternative to WfMS-based process execution at a reasonable effort. The paper-based scheme we introduce follows classical checklist concepts and builds upon the checklist idea in order to reach the same objectives as WfMSs: task coordination, execution guidance, traceability. In this article, we describe how to transform Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) process models into Process Checklists. We also present extensive evaluations of this approach both in the academic and in the business domain.

    pSTAIX - A Process-Aware Architecture to Support Research Processes
    (INFORMATIK 2017, 2017) Politze, Marius; Decker, Bernd; Eifert, Thomas
    Universities IT service providers are faced with rising demands on existing IT systems and higher degrees of individualization. The challenge thus is to provide services that researchers can use today but that are flexible and sustainable enough to also support tomorrows’ research processes. Emerging from previous projects supporting administrative and learning processes, a reference architecture is proposed that aims at providing a general guideline to build process-aware services supporting eResearch. The proposed architecture gives guidance on structuring development and operation of services and formalizes how existing IT systems transition into process-aware services.
