Flexible Process Graph: A Prologue
نویسندگان
چکیده
Businesses document their operational processes as process models. The common practice is to represent process models as directed graphs. The nodes of a process graph represent activities and directed edges constitute activity ordering constraints. A flexible process graph modeling approach proposes to generalize process graph structure to a hypergraph. Obtained process structure aims at formalization of ad-hoc process control flow. In this paper we discuss aspects relevant to concurrent execution of process activities in a collaborative manner organized as a flexible process graph. We provide a real world flexible process scenario to illustrate the approach.

The application and development of graph theory through the space syntax method: The implementation of analytical practical model in architecture
Abstract Over the last few decades, different mathematical methods have been used to design and analyze architectural spaces. Meanwhile, the graph theory provides an abstract model to study the spatial configuration, so that a simple and flexible mathematical framework is obtained to analyze the spatial topological features and their relationship with social and functional concepts in architec...

متن کاملSoftware Evolution via Hierarchical Hypergraphs with Flexible Coverage
We present a simple, abstract approach to the use of hierarchical hypergraphs in software evolution. Borrowing ideas from graph transformation and attribute grammars, we show how these hypergraphs can be used in a flexible way to cover all or part of a software development process. This unifying framework allows to design a set of tools based on common data structures and representations and ap...
