Integration Adapters are a fundamental part of an integration system, since they provide (business) applications access to its messaging channel. However, their modeling and configuration remain under-represented. In previous work, the integration control and data flow syntax and semantics have been expressed in the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) as a semantic model for message-base...

The successful introduction and use of service oriented architecture (SOA) is based on its symbiosis with the business process management (BPM). A precisely targeted usage of process modelling is an integral part of BPM. Event-driven process chains (EPC) and the business process modelling notation (BPMN) are the first choice for the process-oriented modelling. Business process execution languag...

This paper reports our experiences with evaluating BPMN tools in the context of a project on developing an Australian process standard for the lending industry. We present the framework, the methodology and some of the major results of the evaluation. This can provide guidance for other researchers and practitioners with similar goals and constraints, in both the private and the public sector. ...

Abstract The operational backbone of modern organizations is the target business process management, where models are produced to describe how organization should react events and coordinate execution activities so as satisfy its goals. At same time, decisions made by considering internal external contextual factors, according decision that typically based on declarative, rule-based specificati...

Business process optimization has become a strategic aspect of companies’ management due to the potential cost reduction and throughput improvement. There are several ways achieve optimization, depending on level expressiveness processes at hand. In this paper, we focus described using BPMN, but also including an explicit description execution time resources associated with tasks. We propose re...

Process approach in the management of modern business entity activities opens a wide range of opportunities, ways and methods of activity reorganization, improving the quality of customer interaction, optimization of internal and external business processes. An effective tool in analyzing business processes as a central category of the process approach is modeling that increases their adaptabil...

The Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style has seen substantial growth and adoption for the design of modern Resource-Oriented Architectures. However, the impact of fundamental constraints such as stateful resources, stateless interactions, and the uniform interface have had only limited uptake and impact in the Business Process Modeling (BPM) community in general, and in th...

The participation of business experts in the elicitation and formulation of Information Assurance & Security (IAS) requirements is crucial. Although business experts have security-related knowledge, there is still no formalised business process modelling notation allowing them to express this knowledge in a clear, unambiguous manner. In this paper we outline the foundational basis for SecureBPM...
