08 Jun 2015TL;DR: This paper introduces RALph, a graphical notation for the assignment of human resources to BP activities that defines its semantics by mapping this notation to a language that has been formally defined in description logics, which enables its automated analysis.
Abstract: The business process (BP) resource perspective deals with the management of human as well as non-human resources throughout the process lifecycle. Although it has received increasing attention recently, there exists no graphical notation for it up until now that is both expressive enough to cover well-known resource selection conditions and independent of any BP modelling language. In this paper, we introduce RALph, a graphical notation for the assignment of human resources to BP activities. We define its semantics by mapping this notation to a language that has been formally defined in description logics, which enables its automated analysis. Although we show how RALph can be seamlessly integrated with BPMN, it is noteworthy that the notation is independent of the BP modelling language. Altogether, RALph will foster the visual modelling of the resource perspective in BPs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for automated discovery of artifact-centric process models starting from logs consisting of flat collections of event records, which can be reused in a flexible manner.
Abstract: Artifact-centric modeling is an approach for capturing business processes in terms of so-called business artifacts — key entities driving a company's operations and whose lifecycles and interactions define an overall business process. This approach has been shown to be especially suitable in the context of processes where one-to-many or many-to-many relations exist between the entities involved in the process. As a contribution towards building up a body of methods to support artifact-centric modeling, this article presents a method for automated discovery of artifact-centric process models starting from logs consisting of flat collections of event records. We decompose the problem in such a way that a wide range of existing (non-artifact-centric) automated process discovery methods can be reused in a flexible manner. The presented methods are implemented as a package for ProM, a generic open-source framework for process mining. The methods have been applied to reverse-engineer an artifact-centric process...

TL;DR: An approach to process management that has been applied to business and software processes and which, thereby, enabled cross-fertilization between both areas is presented.
Abstract: Management of business and software processes are areas of increasing interest, which evolved nearly independently from each other. In this article we present an approach to process management that has been applied to business and software processes and which, thereby, enabled cross-fertilization between both areas. The goal of this article is to report lessons learned in industrial as well as academic business and software process management projects.

TL;DR: This paper develops a specific approach for layouting business process graphs based on general graph drawing and discovers use cases relevant in this context of automotive processes.
Abstract: The proper visualization and monitoring of their (ongoing) business processes is crucial for any enterprise.
Thus a broad spectrum of processes has to be visualized ranging from simple, short–running processes to
complex long–running ones (consisting of up to hundreds of activities). In any case, users shall be able to
quickly understand the logic behind a process and to get a quick overview of related tasks. One practical
problem arises when different fragments of a business process are scattered over several systems where they
are often modeled using different process meta models (e.g., High–Level Petri Nets). The challenge is to find
an integrated and user–friendly visualization for these business processes. In this paper we discover use cases
relevant in this context. Since existing graph layout approaches have focused on general graph drawing so
far we further develop a specific approach for layouting business process graphs. The work presented in this
paper is embedded within a larger project (Proviado) on the visualization of automotive processes.
