This chapter addresses the design of community-based Web applications using the modeldriven approach and design patterns. A set of best practices, identified by reviewing a number of top-rank Web 2.0 Web applications is illustrated and turned into a set of design patterns, expressed with a Model-Driven approach. A suitable development process, with specific focus on community-based application design, is defined, as an extension of traditional Web Engineering approaches. The defined patterns and process tasks are then implemented in a commercial Web development tool suite, enabling the visual specification and rapid generation of code for social Web 2.0 applications.

Naša naloga bo izvesti modeliranje in simulacijo na osnovi treh delovnih procesov. Delovne procese sestavljajo trije pravilniki, ki se izvajajo na Fakulteti za informacijske študije v Novem mestu, in sicer: Pravilnik o anketiranju študentov, pravilnik o študentih s posebnim statusom ter pravilnik o izvajanju delovne prakse. Vse tri pravilnike bomo najprej opisali in nato izdelali tabelo aktivnosti in tabelo lastnosti (metodologija TAD) za vsak delovni proces. Pomagali si bomo s programskim orodjem iGrafx, kjer bomo izvedli modeliranje in simulacijo.

1 specifies that a functional size measurement (FSM) method must provide 19 measurement procedures to quantify the functional user requirements (FURs) of soft-20 ware. Such quantitative information, functional size, is typically used, for instance, in 21 software estimation. One of the international standards for FSM is the COSMIC FSM 22 method -ISO 19761 -which was designed to be applied both to the business applica-23 tion (BA) software domain and to the real-time software domain.

Existing models of negotiation as a process are incomplete and do not show an overall, start to finish lifecycle. Current phase based models lack clearly defined criteria that identify phase boundaries. After reviewing existing models, the paper identifies macro phases, clarifies phase boundaries, and delivers a bird's eye view model of negotiation supported by examples in academic literature and the public record. The enhanced model proposed here provides a practical negotiation guideline and roadmap previously left unclear in the literature. The proposed model contributes to theory around negotiation by defining the boundaries of a sequence of macro phases in negotiation and enhancing the model through business process modeling. With the enhanced model, academics and practitioners can share a viewpoint for understanding, communicating, and further developing negotiation models.

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is the reaction of enterprises to rapidly changing requirements to achieve the new goals in the best cost/time and create a new reengineered Business Process (BP). Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is now the de-facto BP modelling language due to rich activity and control constructs, but with possibilities to contain a bunch of semantic errors which are difficult to detect by analysts and costly to fix later. This paper proposes a mapping from BPMN to Colored Petri Nets (CPN) in order to define the formal semantics for BPMN models. This mapping is implemented as a tool that is jointly used with CPN analysis techniques to detect semantic errors in BPMN models.

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is the de-facto standard for representing in a very expressive graphical way the processes occurring in virtually every kind of organization one can think of, from cuisine recipes to the Nobel Prize assignment process, incident management, e-mail voting systems, travel booking procedures, to name a few. In this work, we give an overview of BPMN and we present what are the links with other well-known machineries such as BPEL and XPDL. We give an assessment of how the OMG's BPMN standard is perceived and used by practitioners in everyday business process modeling chores.

At the moment the notations for the modeling of business process is based in technical aspects. Therefore most notations are not understood by the business users due to the complexity of them. In this paper we present a notation that allows business users to model their business process. For this reason the notation must be agile, easy to learn and design, and capable to provide semantic information about the process. With the objective of demonstrating the characteristics of the proposal notation in this paper we make a research to compare and evaluate the usability of the notation with the standard notation more extended, BPMN.

The paper proposes the results of a research industry project concerning predictive maintenance process optimization, applied to a machine cutting polyurethane. A company producing cutting machines, has been provided with an online control system able to detect blade status of a machine supplied to a customer producing polyurethane components. A software platform has been developed for the real time monitoring of the blade status and for the prediction of the break up conditions adopting a multi-parametric data analysis approach, based on the simultaneous use of unsupervised and supervised machine learning algorithms. Specifically, the proposed method adopts a k-Means algorithm to classify bi dimensional risk maps, and a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) one to predict the alerting levels based on the analysis of the last values for some process variables. The analysed algorithms are applied to an experimental dataset.

This paper presents an application of BPMN for the modeling of Tax Administration processes within the One-Stop-Shop system for the registration of business entities, using a modern software tool. The primary goal of this paper is to draw attention to a possible application of BPMN and to present some identified difficulties in ensuring simple means of process modeling and information sharing among the business users and process implementers. It was shown that BPMN facilitates communication among the key parties in cross-organizational e-Government. Additionally, the conclusion was that using BPMN can be a useful starting point for highlighting critical points in collaboration of involved processes.

Business process modeling is an increasingly popular method for improving organizational efficiency and quality. The ability to automatically validate the process model became a significant feature of modeling tools with the increasing complexity of enterprise business processes and richness of modeling languages. This paper proposes formal semantics for process modeling by mapping Business Process Modeling Notations (BPMN) to Coloured Petri Nets (CPN). We automate the transformation process to allow for automatically validating the business process model. Formalizing BPMN using CPN enables simulating business process behavior to facilitate the early detection of flaws.

In this paper we compare two different ways of visualising business processes, the Business Process Modelling Notation 2.0 and Dynamic Condition Response graphs (DCR graph). For visualisation of the constraints and the rules of this process, the concept of the DCR graph will be used, involving elements like actors, events, constraints, scenarios etc. After the DCR graph, a BPMN model will be used, which helps reflecting on some of the key elements which are found in the DCR graph. This kind of documentation is used to show of the flow of the different business processes, and see what kind of opportunity of routes, can be seen within the process

The standardization of BPMN v2 gave opportunity to the emergence of tools for modeling and execution of business processes that enable rapid prototyping of applications. This paper proposes an agile development methodology driven by processes that use this facility to refine and validate executable prototypes produced during the software development. Also is presented a case study the methodology proposed. The results show reduction in development time and number of errors.

The ever increasing number of adoptions from companies and the growing interest upon BPMN entails the need of having one more structured underlying conceptual model. In the past different proposals to equip BPMN with a conceptual model have been defined, but the solution currently adopted remains unclear and too complex. Also the proposals submitted to the BPMN 2.0 RFP, which calls for a single notation to define notation, metamodel and interchange format addressing BPDM concepts, are still - in part - unsatisfactory. We developed a new model starting from scratch, and the result of this work is a complete conceptual model for BPMN with a clear metamodel and its related XML-based serialization which provides a self-validating mechanism for checking BP syntax and semantics.

G a r t C a p o t e. c o m amos começar a falar sobre BPM citando um trecho do código de ética dos profissionais de BPM associados à ABPMP Mundial, e que em uma tradução livre seria: "Se um projeto de gerenciamento de processos de negócio (BPM), não puder demonstrar que adicionará valor ao negócio, ele não deveria ser realizado." Antes de tratarmos de qualquer outro conceito de BPM, acho que é essencial fixarmos o conceito de adição de valor. Uma forma bastante simples, e suficiente para atender ao objetivo deste conceito no livro, é perguntar: Qual o objetivo da organização que o processo atende ou suporta? O projeto de BPM desse processo irá adicionar algum valor ao produto, ou serviço? Se você tiver dificuldades para responder a essas perguntas, está na hora de ao menos; avaliar melhor a real necessidade da iniciativa, buscar ajuda especializada, tentar descobrir se este é o momento certo e viável para a realização deste tipo de projeto. O conceito de adição de valor é bastante extenso, e por isso mesmo, descrito em diversos livros sobre gestão de negócios, estratégias e inovação, mas para os fins deste livro, tente entender que, se você despende esforço e consome recursos da organização para a realização de alguma atividade, essa atividade deve adicionar algo positivo e favoravelmente perceptível pelos clientes no momento de uso do seu produto ou serviço. Se a atividade não colabora com a percepção de melhoria por parte do cliente, ou em outras palavras, não ajuda na satisfação do cliente, provavelmente, esta é uma atividade que não agrega ou adiciona valor suficiente ao negócio. Além de agregar valor, outro conceito bastante interessante, porém muito menos trivial em sua aplicação, é a "inovação de valor", amplamente apresentado por Prahalad e Mauborgne no livro "Blue Ocean Strategy", ou Estratégia do Oceano Azul. Uma das principais diferenças entre adicionar valor e, inovar com valor, é o produto do trabalho. Para simplificar, veja a diferença a seguir.

Pode adicionar valor a um produto ou serviço já conhecido e utilizado no mercado. Ao adicionar valor você estará ajudando no resultado final deste produto ou serviço, mas com um importante limitante: O mercado está cada vez mais disputado, e consequentemente, em constante redução do tamanho da participação das organizações-Conhecido também como Market Share. Inovação de Valor Quando você busca inovar com valor, a sua busca deve visar à criação de novas oportunidades de negócio, expansão e criação de mercado, criação de novos produtos e serviços. Na inovação de valor, não basta melhorar o que já existe. É preciso criar algo que tenha valor real para os clientes, e que, ao mesmo tempo, os seus concorrentes não tenham realizado. Simples? Nem um pouco. Por isso mesmo existem técnicas e ferramentas de análise e avaliação de mercado, fronteiras, negócios, capacidade competitiva, matriz de valores etc.

In this work we present our contributions to business processes modeling. Namely, we have undertaken a thorough analysis of the OMG standard BPMN, along with other related technologies like WS-BPEL and XPDL. Such analysis has pointed out several weaknesses that motivate our contributions. We propose a new conceptual model of BPMN called BPeX as a clear and principled way to represent and reason about business processes. We provide a three-phase design methodology to model business processes focusing on BPMN and we introduce the notion of business process normal form. We introduce also the concept of business process views and apply them to business processes access control. Finally, we provide an extension to BPMN with privacy policies. Relevant parts of BPMN conceptual model will be included as part of the forthcoming BPMN 2.0 standard.

We present our contributions to business process design. Our starting point has been a thorough analysis of the OMG standard BPMN. While uncovering several of BPMN’s weak points, our analysis has brought in a novel three-phase design
methodology for BPMN.

La Universidad de La Serena ha atravesado por un proceso de renovación tecnológica  denominado Proyecto Phoenix.ULS, el cual se plantea como escenario ideal para la incorporación de nuevos proyectos tecnológicos que permitan  la incorporación y asimilación de tecnologías de la información de última generación. Es así como el presente  documento expone los aspectos principales de la introducción de tecnologías basadas en BPM para su integración con  los sistemas de información universitarios (Académicos y Financieros) en explotación para reducir el esfuerzo técnico en cuanto a tiempos de  desarrollo o modificación de aplicaciones. Se mostrará al lector el estado actual de  de las diferentes plataformas de la Universidad de La Serena y los procesos de negocio que serán abordados e intervenidos con esa tecnología, la cual fue incorporada al inicio del proyecto como herramienta de  modelado, y se detallara la metodología  de implementación e integración que se espera lograr como parte de la incorporación del Business Process Management a los servicios informáticos que el Centro de Informática y Computación de la Universidad de La Serena (CICULS) proporciona como apoyo a las actividades institucionales de forma transversal a toda la comunidad universitaria (Académicos, Estudiantes y Administrativos).

A abordagem não integrada do Gerenciamento de Processos de Negócio (Business Process Management - BPM) com a Gestão Arquivística de Documentos reduz os benefícios potenciais esperados dos programas de gestão da informação. Nesse sentido, como pode ser aperfeiçoada a descrição de documentos de arquivo para que atendam simultaneamente aos requisitos do Gerenciamento de Processos de Negócio e aos princípios arquivísticos?  A presente pesquisa fez a revisão sistemática da literatura de Tipologia Documental, Gênese Documental, Descrição Arquivística, Engenharia de Documentos e Documentação Jurídica.  Em seguida foi feito estudo de caso de autos de processo judicial com três diferentes formatos de descrição: a) Fluxo Documental com Atividades; b) Fluxo de Atividades; c) Fluxo de Tarefas associadas a tipos documentais.  Por fim, foi elaborada proposta de requisitos de descrição de funções, atividades e seus desdobramentos que simultaneamente atendam ao Gerenciamento de Processos de Negócio e aos princípios arquivísticos.  A conclusão é de que a proposta reforça os princípios da proveniência, da organicidade e da ordem natural, bem como o vínculo arquivístico dos documentos de arquivo.

Os processos judiciais ainda são objeto de poucos estudos na Ciência da Informação e Arquivologia, de modo que formulamos a seguinte pergunta de pesquisa: como avaliar os modelos de descrição de processos judiciais no que se refere às suas atividades? Foi realizada pesquisa documental da literatura especializada de Diplomática, Tipologia Documental, Engenharia de Documentos, Business Process Management and Notation (BPMN), Records continuum e Teoria do Fato Jurídico, que resultou na seleção de 33 critérios de avaliação dos modelos de descrição de atividades de processos judiciais. Em seguida, os critérios foram aplicados para avaliação de seis modelos identificados: Australian Judgment XML Standard, Modelo Nacional de Interoperabilidade do CNJ, Electronic Court Filing, Akoma Ntoso, LegalRuleML e Norma Brasileira de Descrição Arquivística (Nobrade). A avaliação dos modelos levou à identificação de três grupos diferentes de modelos: o primeiro centrado em documentos, o segundo em atividades e o terceiro voltado para o formalismo lógico das normas jurídicas. Os resultados da pesquisa permitem concluir que os critérios aplicados foram adequados para identificar lacunas dos modelos no que se refere à sua capacidade descritiva para contribuir no aperfeiçoamento futuro.

Gestão de facilidades, também conhecida por Facility Management (FM), envolve a gestão de pessoas, processos e espaços podendo ser auxiliada por sistemas de informação específicos. A adoção da Modelagem da Informação da Construção (Building Information Modeling-BIM) na gestão de facilidades resulta em benefícios assim como em outras etapas do ciclo de vida da edificação. Desta forma, apesar de incipiente é crescente o interesse no uso do BIM na área de gestão de facilidades e gerenciamento da informação, pois possibilita incorporar dados consistentes desde as fases de concepção e execução até a fase de operação e manutenção da edificação, obtendo economia de tempo e redução de custos. A manutenção é uma das áreas da gestão de facilidades e foco do presente trabalho. O método utilizado foi o comparativo, pois permite identificar transformações, continuidades e descontinuidades de processos de FM com e sem a adoção do BIM. Para um melhor entendimento do processo, foi utilizada a Notação de Modelagem de Processos de Negócio, também conhecida como Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). Escalas de implantação do BIM em FM foram elaboradas a partir da análise de um estudo de caso na literatura e de manuais de implantação da modelagem da informação da construção. A aplicação do escalonamento para caracterização foi demonstrada em outros estudos de caso também encontrados na literatura. Como contribuição, cenários da incorporação do BIM em FM sobre os processos, sistemas e informações são desenhados. Estes cenários podem auxiliar investidores neste segmento a caracterizar esforços futuros de implantação de BIM ou avaliar esforços realizados. Palavras-chave: Gestão de Facilidades. FM. Modelagem da Informação da Construção. BIM. Modelagem de Processos.

Abstract: Facilities Management (FM) involves managing people, processes, and spaces and can be supported by specifics information systems. The adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in FM results in benefits as in other stages of building life cycle. Therefore, although incipient, there is a growing interest in BIM use in facility and information management, since it allows incorporating consistent data from design to construction phases until operation and maintenance phases of a building, achieving time and cost savings. Maintenance management is one of the Facilities Management areas and is the focus of this paper. The method used in this study was comparative; applied in order to identify changes, continuities and discontinuities in FM processes with and without the adoption of BIM. For a better understanding of the process, we used the Business Process Modeling Notation, also known as BPMN. BIM implementation scales in FM were elaborated from the analysis of a literature case study and BIM implementation guides. The scaling factor application for characterization was demonstrated in other case studies, also found in the literature. As a contribution, BIM incorporation scenarios in FM are designed for processes, systems and information. These scenarios can assist stakeholders in this segment to characterize future or realized efforts of BIM adoption in FM.

This discussion expands and elaborates the introduction to activation rules for IDEF0 (SADT) activities that is given by Marca & McGowan. As presented here, I have adapted the

Timely insight into manufacturing processes events can help in improving its efficiency and agility. Events are state change in process execution that can be not only monitored but correlated and managed in order to take immediate action. In this paper a new approach to develop event driven manufacturing process management solutions is presented. The event-driven architecture is considered as the basis to design a unified modeling methodology which enables near real time event stream processing. The approach adapts Business Process Management to manufacturing at the different automation levels (ISA-95 levels 2, 3 and 4). The key issue is to model the logic of complex events in manufacturing processes. The use of BPMN 2.0 is proposed as the standardized modeling language. Through this notation a standardized definition of business logic for monitoring and controlling manufacturing operations can be developed, representing the knowledge to apply in order to increase process performance.

One of the significant reasons for the success of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is its harmonization with business process management (BPM). Architecture of Integrated Information System (ARIS) correlates SOA with BPM by its proposed work flow. Modeling process is one of the fundamental parts in SOA architecture. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a graphical language which is known as one of the most efficient languages for modeling in ARIS. This language is transformable to Business Process Execution Language and causes the act of modeling to be performed on the basis of a comprehensive and integrated plan with its provided tools. Despite of all the advantages, the companies should apply necessary speed and precision in the cycle of transforming the models to executable processes to be competitive in the nowadays world; and due to the fact that the first step in generating an executive process in SOA is design and modeling, therefore it is so critical to assure of the correct functionality of models before implementation and test. ARIS provides the users with the facility to be certain about correct functionality of BPMN model by supporting ARIS simulator. However simulation is time-consuming while being used in change of business and process updating and it is not optimal. We presented a solution by introduce semantic checking in ARIS and showing how could upgrading the support of BPMN in ARIS to reduce the consumed time for test and simulation.

Several methods for enterprise systems analysis rely on flow-oriented representations of business operations, otherwise known as business process models. The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a standard for capturing such models. BPMN models facilitate communication between domain experts and analysts and provide input to software development projects.
