“…Therefore, the DYNAMITE metamodel comprises language constructs for modeling the coordination of engineers in simultaneous engineering scenarios, the propagation of development artifacts and the like. DYNAMITE is part of an integrated meta-model for the management of dynamic development processes, which constitutes the foundation of the process management system AHEAD [3] as well as of the newly developed PROCEED system. While AHEAD was a research prototype, PROCEED is an extension to the commercial CAE-tool Comos.…”

Abstract. Process management systems are used in many domains to monitor and control processes. Development processes require specific support, which is not provided by conventional workflow systems. On the one hand, they comprise highly dynamic process parts, which cannot be defined until project runtime. On the other hand, development processes may contain subprocesses, which can be executed in the form of predefined workflows. In this paper we describe the integration of a specialized system for the management of dynamic development processes with a conventional workflow management system. This integrated solution targets the specific needs for the management of engineering design processes in the plant construction domain. It has been implemented as an extension to a commercial CAE-tool, and it will be evaluated in industrial practice in the near future.

“…In the past, we mainly focused on dynamic development processes, particularly in the domain of mechanical engineering (Eversheim et al, 1997) and chemical engineering (Nagl and Marquardt, 2008) and developed an adaptable and human-centred environment for the management of design processes (AHEAD) (Heller et al, 2008). AHEAD particularly provides functionality to cope with evolving and distributed development processes.…”

Abstract:In this article, we present research results about tools for supporting dynamic business processes. This research work has been conducted in a three-year cooperation between our department and an IT service provider for insurance companies. Our partner's process management system (PMS) is rather aligned with static processes, whose structure is not changed at process run time. Therefore, we contribute an approach for obtaining dynamic process execution support based on this static PMS by automatically augmenting existent WS-BPEL process definitions and run time data. Dynamically changeable processes are presented to process participants as graphical models by a process model editor. This editor aids process participants with performing dynamic changes in as much as it is aware of explicit and implicit technical and professional process knowledge and detects violations against this knowledge in dynamically changed process instance models. We delineate how explicit process knowledge can be graphically modelled and exploited in automatic checks using OCL-constrained and integrated meta-models. Checks versus explicit knowledge are complemented by checks versus implicit knowledge which is contained in other process definition and process instance models. These checks include process similarity computations based on graph grammar formalisms and tools.
