It may be tempting for researchers to stick incremental extensions of their current work plan future research activities. Yet there is also merit in realizing the grand challenges one’s field. This paper presents an overview nine major problems Business Process Management discipline. These have been collected by open call community, discussed and refined a workshop setting, described here detail, including motivation why these are worth investigating. serve purpose inspiring both novice...
The developments of new concepts for an increased digitization manufacturing industries in the context Industry 4.0 have brought about novel system architectures and frameworks smart production systems. These range from generic to domain-specific Industrial Internet Things (IIoT). While most approaches include a service-based architecture selective integration with enterprise systems, close two-way control systems IIoT sensors actuators Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS) on management...
The increasing number of IoT devices equipped with sensors and actuators pervading every domain everyday life allows for improved automated monitoring analysis processes executed in IoT-enabled environments. While sophisticated methods exist to detect specific types activities from low-level data, a general approach detecting activity executions that are part more complex business does not exist. Moreover, dedicated information systems orchestrate or monitor process available typical As...
Abstract Our everyday lives are increasingly pervaded by digital assistants and smart devices forming the Internet of Things (IoT). While user interfaces to directly monitor control individual IoT becoming more sophisticated end-user friendly, applications connect standalone create complex processes for automating assisting users with repetitive tasks still require a high level technical expertise programming knowledge. Related approaches process modelling in mostly suggest extensions...
The Internet of Things (IoT) enables software-based access to vast amounts data streams from sensors measuring physical and virtual properties smart devices their surroundings. While sophisticated means for the control analysis single IoT exist, a more process-oriented view systems is often missing. Such lack process awareness hinders development process-based on top environments application mining techniques optimization in IoT. We propose framework stepwise correlation composition raw...
The production industry is in a transformation towards more autonomous and intelligent manufacturing. In addition to flexible processes dynamically respond changes the environment, it also essential that are continuously monitored completed time. Video-based methods such as object detection systems still their infancy rarely used basis for process monitoring. this paper, we present framework video-based monitoring of manufacturing with help physical smart factory simulation model. We...
Cloud computing services eliminate the need for local storage thereby lowering operational and maintenance costs. However, security privacy concerns regarding out-sourced data prevail. Especially in enterprise environments, sensitive internal customer accumulate, which are usually subject to strong legal regulations. Therefore, all files information be protected when leaving a company's intranet. In this work, we describe work progress propose flexible system architecture integrating various...
Internet of Things-aware process execution imposes new requirements on modeling, that are outside the scope current modeling languages. Things (IoT) devices may vanish, appear or stay unknown during execution. Therefore, design time resource allocation is not feasible. Additionally, device capabilities only available in a certain real world context at runtime, which considered by service-based approaches for encapsulating functionality. This paper presents an approach covering both service...
Internet of Things-aware process execution imposes new requirements on modeling that are outside the scope current languages. Things (IoT) devices may vanish, appear or stay unknown during execution, which renders resource allocation at design time infeasible. Devices’ capabilities often only available in a particular real-world context runtime. This is not considered by approaches use services for encapsulating device functionality. We propose novel approach to enable both service discovery...
The IoT and Business Process Management (BPM) communities co-exist in many shared application domains, such as manufacturing healthcare. community has a strong focus on hardware, connectivity data; the BPM focuses mainly finding, controlling, enhancing structured interactions among devices processes. While field of Mining deals with extraction process models analytics from event logs, data produced by sensors often is at lower granularity than these process-level events. fundamental...
Abstract Business process modeling is essential for organizations to comprehend, analyze, and enhance their business operations. The model notation (BPMN) a standard widely adopted illustrating processes. However, it falls short when roles, interactions, responsibilities within complex modern processes that involve digital, human, non-human entities, typically found in cyber-physical systems (CPS). In this paper, we introduce Role-based BPMN (RBPMN), standard-compliant extension of 2.0...
Currently, small domestic service robots are on the verge of becoming a mass product for assisting end customers with everyday tasks. Despite open programming interfaces provided by robot manufacturers, many different systems exist that have to be programmed individually due technical differences. The Robot Operating System (ROS) helps alleviate this problem, but provides only low abstraction level, which hinders easy application development entire classes robots. This paper presents...
