Purpose The paper aims at providing a conceptual framework based on clearly defined concepts and notions, which integrates goals into process modeling specifically distinguishes from soft‐goals or business measures. application of this facilitates systematic use in design. Design/methodology/approach is developed the basis Bunge's well‐established ontology. It applied to processes taken SCOR supply chain reference model for demonstration evaluation. Findings Applying resulted set focused...
Declarative approaches to business process modeling are regarded as well suited for highly volatile environments, they enable a high degree of flexibility. However, problems in understanding and maintaining declarative models often impede their adoption. Likewise, little research has been conducted into the models. This paper takes first step toward addressing this fundamental question reports on an empirical investigation consisting exploratory study follow-up focusing system analysts'...
Conceptual models are used to communicate information about a domain during the development of systems. In two experimental studies using business process models, we demonstrate how eye tracking can contribute understanding cognitive processes by which readers use conceptual modeling scripts perform problem solving tasks. first study, compare generated grammars and attention paid specific parts grammar variations, differences in visual association between diagram, account for task...
Conceptual models are aimed at providing formal representations of a domain. They mainly used for the purpose understanding and communicating about requirements information systems.Conceptual modeling has acquired large body research dealing with semantics constructs, goal to make better vehicles communication. However, it is commonly known that different people construct given domain although all may be similarly adequate. The premise this paper variations in reflect vagueness criteria...
Reference models are an important aid for business process modeling and design. Their aim is to capture domain knowledge assist in the design of enterprise-specific processes. The application reference requires guidance reusing these flexibility adapting them specific enterprises. One popular language specifying event-driven chain (EPC), which has been extended express configurable models, i.e., EPC (C–EPC). These provide explicit reuse but allow a limited level following by configuration...
Business process models are an important means to design, analyze, implement, and control business processes. As with every type of conceptual model, a model has meet certain syntactic, semantic, pragmatic quality requirements be value. For many years, such aspects were investigated by centering on the properties artifact itself. Only recently, creation is considered as factor that influences resulting model’s quality. Our work contributes this stream research presents explorative analysis...
Hierarchy has widely been recognized as a viable approach to deal with the complexity of conceptual models. For instance, in declarative business process models, hierarchy is realized by sub-processes. While technical implementations sub-processes exist, their application, semantics, and resulting impact on understandability are less understood yet—this research gap addressed this work. More specifically, we discuss semantics application show how enhance expressiveness modeling languages....
Extant process modeling techniques address different aspects of processes, such as activity sequencing, resource allocation, and organizational responsibilities. These are usually based on graphic notation driven by practice rather than theoretical foundations. The lack principles hinders the ability to ascertain "correctness" a model. A few (notably Petri Nets) formalized apply verification mechanisms (mostly for sequencing concurrency). However, these do not deal with important design...
Since its emergence over two decades ago, process mining has flourished as a discipline, with numerous contributions to theory, widespread practical applications, and mature support by commercial tooling environments. However, potential for significant organisational impact is hampered poor quality event data. Process starts the acquisition preparation of data coming from different sources. These are then transformed into logs, consisting execution traces including multiple events. In...
Even though considerable progress regarding the technical perspective on modeling and supporting business processes has been achieved, it appears that human is still often left aside. In particular, we do not have an in-depth understanding of how process models are inspected by humans, what strategies taken, challenges arise, cognitive involved. This paper contributes toward such reports exploratory study investigating humans identify classify quality issues in BPMN models. Providing...
