We present the live-representation approach for managing and working in complex, dynamic business processes. In this approach, aspects of business-process modeling, project planning, project management, resource scheduling, and process automation, execution, and reporting are integrated into an on-line representation of planned and executing processes. This representation provides a real-time v...

We introduce process spaces as a new abstraction for the definition of a process metaphore over various (heterogeneous) information systems in an enterprise, which are not necessarily process-aware, and propose the design and development of process spaces management systems (PSMSs), which provide support for the discovery, analysis, monitoring, querying, and exploration of process spaces. We al...

Proper annotation process management is crucial to the construction of corpora, which are indispensable to the data-driven techniques that have come to the forefront in NLP during the last two decades. This paper first raises a list of 10 needs that any general purpose annotation system should address, such as user & role management, delegation & monitoring of work, diffing annotators’ work, ve...

Scalability of software systems has been a research topic for many years and is as relevant as ever with the dramatic increases in digitization of business operations and data. This relevance also applies to process management systems, most of which are currently incapable of scaling horizontally, i.e., over multiple servers. This paper discusses an approach towards hyperscale workflows, using ...

It was obvious that an additional view was required – a view that could complement the current, singular focus on individual business processes that leads to the management of each process in isolation. Such a consolidating view of the complete landscape of business processes is the heart of process portfolio manag...

Automation and integration of business processes are at the heart of contemporary enterprise systems. In the pursuit of this goal, process automation technology is employed at varying levels of the enterprise information systems architecture. Larger organizations are faced with multiple instances of process management systems, each of which may provide a different paradigm for capturing, repres...

In the era of research infrastructures and big data, sophisticated data management practices are becoming essential building blocks of successful science. Most practices follow a data-centric approach, which does not take into account the processes that created, analysed and presented the data. This fact limits the possibilities for reliable verification of results. Furthermore, it does not gua...

In order to be successful, enterprises have to adapt quickly to new opportunities and threats. They have to take smart decisions and execute fast. Innovation and agility become main success factors. The Management of Process Excellence (MPE) is a key enabler. It leads to a functioning “real-time enterprise”. MPE links enterprise strategy with people and technology for the highest operational pe...
