“…A limitation of this approach might be that describing data objects does not influence sharing analysis, and consequently, the obtained fragments would be the same as when data objects are not taken into consideration. The work presented in (Zemni et al 2012) is another approach that analyses process fragmentation from another unique point of view. In this work, the authors propose an approach based on Formal Concept Analysis (FAC) for generating privacy-aware reusable process figments.…”

Many peer-organizations are now using processaware information systems for managing their organizational processes. Most of these peer-organizations have shared processes, which include many commonalities and some degrees of variability. Analyzing and mining the commonalities of these processes can have many benefits from the reusability point of view. In this paper, we propose an approach for extracting common process fragments from a collection of event logs. To this end, we first analyze the process fragment literature from a theoretical point of view, based on which we present a new process fragment definition, called morphological fragments to support composability and flexibility. Then we propose a novel algorithm for extracting such morphological fragments directly from process event logs. This algorithm is capable of eliciting common fragments from a family of processes that may not have been executed within the same application/organization. We also propose supporting algorithms for detecting and categorizing morphological fragments for the purpose of reusability. Our empirical studies show that our approach is able to support reusability and flexibility in process fragment identification.

“…To avoid the redesign of existing fragments, some researchers decompose the existing service processes to generate reusable process fragments. Some of those approaches hold the decomposition level of the existing business process into reusable fragments . Others skip the decomposition level and proceed directly to the composition, like in Nacer et al and Yang et al The following subsections will detail the 2 types of approaches and present their limits.…”

“…Examples of works include previous studies . The rest of the approaches, as shown in Figure , either they deal with all service models (eg, cloud or web services), so they use the term service in general like in Yang et al, or they reuse generated process fragments such as Nacer et al and Zemni et al Few other approaches use other types of service models, such as the mashup in Zhang et al…”

During the last decade, cloud computing became a natural choice to host and provide various computing resources as on‐demand services. To better satisfy user requirements, cloud services may be combined while considering the constraints of the virtualized environment, including security policies, resources availability, and interoperability. Extensive surveys have been conducted to study the major issues related to the cloud service composition problem. However, very few works have studied such issues in a multicloud setting. To fill this gap, we provide in this paper a systematic literature review on multicloud service composition. We start with a background on service composition in single clouds. Then, we present the multicloud taxonomy, and we study how service composition was tackled by researchers in multicloud environments. Finally, we identify the challenges and the requirements of multicloud service composition, as well as the future directions.

“…In a previous work [5,6], we have presented an approach for business process decomposition into all possible fragments while maintaining the privacy of sensitive information. In this paper, we present a two-phases requirementsdriven approach to provide safe, useful and reusable business process fragments while dealing with designers'requirements.…”

Two major concerns are emerging, while dealing with building new process functionalities: shortening the development periods and eliminating the risks related to sensitive information leakages and privacy breaches. Indeed, managing business processes in a modern fashion may increase their quality. An effective solution consists in reusing specific fragments of existing business processes. Moreover, the produced fragments need to be declared as safe from a privacy perspective.This paper presents a design-time approach to decomposing existing business processes. This approach provides ready-for-reuse and privacy-aware fragments that are conform to given semantics specifications. It is based on the so-called FCA technique handling semantic clustering while dealing with the privacy constraints.
