“…The information gathered in the first step will be analyzed and organized to illustrate important work processes and information exchanges among the stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. In general, business entities create process maps as part of business process renovation, the results from which are used to support organizational changes and improve their business models, strategies, and goals (Trkman and Groznik 2006;Popovic et al 2006). The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a standard tool for developing such business process maps.…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) represents modern construction management concepts that can be integrated in every phase throughout the facility lifecycle. Not only can BIM enhance the performance and efficacy of the construction project delivery process, but it can also improve the quality of the delivered products and reduce various forms of project waste. The principal concept of BIM is the collaboration among all stakeholders in different phases of the facility lifecycle to manage relevant information efficiently. However, this data sharing concept is extremely challenging for the construction industry where the project delivery process is unstructured and fragmented. Thus, the primary step for implementing BIM in any construction entity is to assimilate current organizational conditions, especially its work processes and information exchange. This paper investigates the work process and information exchange in construction projects by focusing on the project owner. The Office of Physical Resources Management (OPRM) at Chulalongkorn University (Thailand), which is responsible for developing the university's construction projects, was chosen as a case study to illustrate an application of the proposed methodology. General information about the OPRM as it relates to facility design and construction was first gathered, including organizational structure, the stakeholders involved, their roles and responsibilities, and current information exchange. The phases of a construction project were defined by adapting from those in the OmniClass Construction Classification System (OCCS), which is used widely in the construction industry. The collected information was analyzed and organized to map important work processes and information exchanges among the stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. Due to the complexity of workflows, the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) was adopted to illustrate and 2224 COMPUTING IN CIVIL AND BUILDING ENGINEERING ©ASCE 2014 Computing in Civil and Building Engineering (2014) Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by New York University on 07/30/15.

A key feature of the BMPN is the formal documentation of information exchange requirements among the stakeholders in terms of paper and electronic documents. The results of this formal mapping has proven instrumental in helping all parties, especially project owners, comprehend the project delivery process thoroughly so that the appropriate elements can be modified to support and accommodate the transition to BIM implementation.

Since the ability of Workforce Management Systems to handle mobility induced challenges of mobile environments like data-communication cut-offs, reduced network bandwidth, and security concerns improved recently, the optimization efforts of mobile enterprises increasingly focus on the organizational setup of their mobile environment. This includes issues like, e.g., the dimension and staffing of regional subdivisions, qualification balance of the workforce, and resource allocation strategies. While this multitude of possible adjustment parameters for optimization prevents from the analytical prediction of organizational change efforts, simulation is a promising approach to analyze mobile environments and their change.In this work we present a formal model representing a generalization of mobile environments. This model can be utilized to examine the cost situation and performance of both real mobile enterprises and projected future development scenarios of such enterprises. The model is developed using colored petri nets (CPN) and the software suite CPN Tools. We show that our model is capable of predicting the outcomes of organizational change projects by the utilization of simulation and present a validation of our model based on real-world data of a German gas and power supply.

Abstract-e-Government have emerged in several countries. Because of many aspects that must be considered, and because of there are exist some soft components in e-Government, then the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) can be considered to use in eGovernment systems development process. On the other hand, business process modeling is essential in many fields nowadays, as well as in e-Government. Some researchers have used SSM in e-Government. Several studies that relate the business processes modeling with e-Government have been conducted. This paper tries to reveal the relationship between SSM and business process modeling. Moreover, this paper also tries to explain how business process modeling is integrated within SSM, and further link that integration to the e-Government.
