Collaborative business models among enterprises require defining collaborative business processes. Enterprises implement B2B collaborations to execute these processes. In B2B collaborations the integration and interoperability of processes and systems of the enterprises are required to support the execution of collaborative processes. From a collaborative process model, which describes the global view of the enterprise interactions, each enterprise must define the interface process that represents the role it performs in the collaborative process in order to implement the process in a Business Process Management System. Hence, in this work we propose a method for the automatic generation of the interface process model of each enterprise from a collaborative process model. This method is based on a Model-Driven Architecture to transform collaborative process models into interface process models. By applying this method, interface processes are guaranteed to be interoperable and defined according to a collaborative process.
This paper provides a complete version of the Workflow Activity Patterns (WAP) in the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) as well as an extended evaluation of the capabilities of BPMN and their strengths and weaknesses when being utilizing for representing WAPs. When implementing the activity patterns in existing Business Process Modeling tools, it is fundamental to represent them in BPMN. This representation may facilitate the adoption of the WAPs by BPMN tools as well as the use of the WAPs in process design.
The design of integration processes is a key issue for implementing collaborative business processes in Business-to-Business collaborations. A collaborative process is executed through the enactment of the integration process of each organization, which contains the public and private logic required to support the role an organization performs in the collaborative process. Integration process models must be aligned with and derived from their corresponding collaborative process models to guarantee interoperability among organizations. In this work, we propose a method based on a Model-Driven Architecture to enable organizations to support and automate the design of integration process models. This method provides a model transformation process that uses Workflow Activity Patterns to generate the public/private activities required in integration processes to support cross-organizational message exchanges.
Hace más de una década que universidades nacionales y del mundo debaten sobre los desafíos de las nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación para la producción, gestión y circulación del conocimiento científico y académico. Una forma de dar respuesta a este desafío es el Movimiento de Acceso Abierto. Este movimiento permite en forma gratuita y con propósitos legítimos ligados a la investigación, el desarrollo tecnológico, la innovación y la educación, entre otras, que se pueda leer, descargar, copiar, distribuir, imprimir, buscar o enlazar textos completos, sin otras barreras económicas, legales o técnicas que las que suponga Internet en sí misma y donde uno de los mecanismos de publicación son los repositorios digitales. En este trabajo se presenta la creación del Repositorio Institucional Abierto de la Facultad de Tecnología y Ciencias Aplicadas de la Universidad Nacional de Catamarca cuyo objetivo es promover la producción científica y académica de su comunidad. También se presenta, la implementación del módulo de estadísticas de uso al Repositorio Institucional, que facilita el análisis y comprensión de los recursos almacenados, mide su popularidad y utilidad, además ayuda a las autoridades a la toma de decisiones en aspectos políticos, tácticos y operativos.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
