Nowadays, business process reuse is becoming a trendy topic in the enterprise as well as in scientific research to reduce the cost and time of process development for the benefit of the enterprise. Moreover, with the emergence of cloud environments and the various advantageous and competitive aspects of cloud computing, it becomes necessary to develop non-installable or so-called multi-tenant applications. In this sense, BPM researchers are working on improving the BPaaS (Business Process as Service) model, which enables business processes to be managed in the context of the cloud. However, the problem of aligning IT operations in the cloud, bridging the gap between business requirements and technical cloud solutions, remains an emerging issue in digital transformation, as cloud solutions are purely technical and do not allow stakeholders, who are usually not fluent in the language of business, to properly evaluate or choose the most appropriate cloud solution. Identifying the most appropriate cloud solutions in this context, therefore, requires specifying service requirements and capabilities at both the business and IT levels.
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.
