A Process-Ontological Model for Software Engineering

The term of a “process” is used in Software Engineering (SE) theories and practices in many different ways, which cause confusion. In this paper we will firstly give a general overview how the term “process” is used in SE context. Secondly, we describe how ambiguous the way of using the term “process” in SE discipline is compared to practical SE management. Then, thirdly, we will consider a pro...

Process Fragmentation: An Ontological Perspective

Process fragmentation provides the basis for re-usability and process improvement. Various re-searchers have already introduced different definitions for what constitutes a reasonable process fragment, and have offered algorithmic support for identifying such fragments. As we will show in this paper, some of these definitions suffer from ambiguity or imprecision. Therefore, the objectives of th...

Executable Ontological Business Process Model

Often business processes modelling is confined to Flow Chart like representation and the models are not amenable to analysis (e.g., simulation) to study their behaviour. As a consequence, validation and verification of such models are merely conducted manually based on the intuition, experience and knowledge of analysts and processes managers. While for small models this may not represent a cha...
