TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a process management a guide for the design of business processes, which they call Process Management: A Guide for the Design of Business Processes (PM).
Abstract: Thank you very much for downloading process management a guide for the design of business processes. As you may know, people have search numerous times for their chosen novels like this process management a guide for the design of business processes, but end up in harmful downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some harmful virus inside their laptop.

TL;DR: StPowla is introduced, a workflow based approach to business process modelling that integrates a simple graphical notation, to ease the presentation of the core business process, a user---friendly policy language, Appel, and the Service Oriented Architecture to assemble and orchestrate available services in the business process.
Abstract: We introduce StPowla , a workflow based approach to business process modelling that integrates a simple graphical notation, to ease the presentation of the core business process, a user---friendly policy language, Appel , to provide the necessary adaptation to the varied expectations of the various business stakeholders, and the Service Oriented Architecture, to assemble and orchestrate available services in the business process. We illustrate the approach with a loan approval process.

01 Jan 2006TL;DR: This paper investigates the π-calculus from a technical viewpoint based on current work in this area and summarizes shifting requirements and discusses evolving theories behind BPM from the past over state-of-the-art to the future.
Abstract: This paper discusses the applicability of a process algebra, the π-calculus, as a formal foundation for Business Process Management (BPM). We therefore investigate the π-calculus from a technical viewpoint based on current work in this area. The paper summarizes shifting requirements and discusses evolving theories behind BPM from the past over state–of–the–art to the future. The concepts and theories are concluded by an illustrating example highlighting why the π-calculus is a promising foundation for future BPM.

TL;DR: An extension to BPMN 2.0 to handle the time dimension is elaborate to support business analysts and modellers in easily including the needed temporal constraints in their processes and sets foundation for later automation of these constraints through process execution engines.
Abstract: Business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce market is expected to expand rapidly in coming years. In this context, organizations tend to rely more on business process management (BPM) to streamline their operations. The business process field is influenced by a wide range of temporal constraints which rise from legal, regulatory, and managerial rules. One of the most promising standards for business process modeling, namely the Business process Model and notation BPMN poorly addresses the time dimension so far. In this paper, we elaborate an extension to BPMN 2.0 to handle the time dimension. The aim of this BPMN extensions is to support business analysts and modellers in easily including the needed temporal constraints in their processes. We motivate and justify our proposed extensions by means of illustrative case studies. Furthermore, based on the proposed extensions, a verification approach based on the model checking technique is used to diagnose potential temporal violations of the process model. The work presented in this paper sets foundation for later automation of these constraints through process execution engines.

01 Jan 2007TL;DR: Business process analysis ranges from model verification at design-time to the monitoring of processes at runtime, and shows that future process-aware information systems will need to provide full support of the entire life-cycle of business processes.
Abstract: Business process analysis ranges from model verification at design-time to the monitoring of processes at runtime. Much progress has been achieved in process verification. Today we are able to verify the entire reference model of SAP without any problems. Moreover, more and more processes leave their "trail" in the form of event logs. This makes it interesting to apply process mining to these logs. Interestingly, practical applications of process mining reveal that reality is often quite different from the idealized models, also referred to as "PowerPoint reality". Future process-aware information systems will need to provide full support of the entire life-cycle of business processes. Recent results in business process analysis show that this is indeed possible, e.g., the possibilities offered by process mining tools such as ProM are breathtaking both from a scientific and practical perspective.
