Visualizing business process models in various ways supports modelers in creation and users in understanding. Therefore we present a flexible and extensible meta model based approach to enhance business process models by multiple visualizations. These visualizations are geared to the so called perspectives of a business process model and emphasize different aspects of a business process model.

Many companies consider business process management strategies a fundamental source for successful business operation. Despite this importance of business processes a conceptual and operational gap still exists between the business and the IT view of processes. In this paper we argue that an important reason for this gap is the strong focus of IT on the behaviour and execution perspective of wo...

Separation of concerns has long been considered an effective and efficient strategy to deal with complexity in information systems. One sort of concern crosses over other concerns, which makes their management difficult. Aspect Orientation is a paradigm in information systems which aims to encapsulate cross-cutting concerns to overcome this problem. In the Business Process Management (BPM) area...

The object-oriented design process is investigated within the classic software development classii-cation of Analysis, Design, and Implementation. When all development is performed using object oriented methods, OOD is best characterized as a transformational process, mapping declarative descriptions of objects and classes to implementation plans. Subphases of class design, system design, and p...

In process-driven organizations, process models are the basis on which their supporting processaware information systems are built. Process modeling today is a highly complex, time consuming and error-prone task. In this paper, we define the abstraction levels of process modeling and extract the business knowledge required for modeling a process. Further, we present a processoriented enterprise...

Business webs are collections of enterprises designed to jointly satisfy a consumer need. Designing business webs calls for modeling the collaboration of enterprises from different perspectives, in particular the business value and coordination process perspectives, and for mutually aligning these perspectives. However, business value modeling and coordination process modeling have different go...

The cycle from one release of a software product to the next is becoming shorter and shorter. Especially for custom software products (nonstandard software), implementation productivity needs to be increased. The reuse of prefabricated software components and the implementation of reusable and extensible software are of great importance. The object-oriented programming paradigm has already prov...

The last decade has seen the development of many diverse aspect-oriented modeling (AOM) approaches. This paper presents eight different AOM approaches that produce models at different level of abstraction. The approaches are different with respect to the phases of the development lifecycle they target, and the support they provide for model composition and verification. The approaches are illus...

This paper describes a service-oriented solution framework designed for Internet banking in financial services. A pragmatic approach is developed to help migrate conventional n-tier ecommerce systems to a service-oriented computing paradigm, composed of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Integration (SOI), Process (SOP), and Management (SOM). This comprehensive framework comprises Service Pat...
