Process-oriented organisations need to manage the different types of responsibilities their employees may have w.r.t. the activities involved in their business processes. Despite several approaches provide support for responsibility modelling, in current Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) the only responsibility considered at runtime is the one related to performing the work required for activity completion. Others like accountability or consultation must be implemented by manually adding activities in the executable process model, which is time-consuming and error-prone. In this paper, we address this limitation by enabling current BPMS to execute processes in which people with different responsibilities interact to complete the activities. We introduce a metamodel based on Responsibility Assignment Matrices (RAM) to model the responsibility assignment for each activity, and a flexible template-based mechanism that automatically transforms such information into BPMN elements, which can be interpreted and executed by a BPMS. Thus, our approach does not enforce any specific behaviour for the different responsibilities but new templates can be modelled to specify the interaction that best suits the activity requirements. Furthermore, libraries of templates can be created and reused in different processes. We provide a reference implementation and build a library of templates for a well-known set of responsibilities.

“…A business process model is the representation of the activities, documents, people and all of the elements involved in a business process, as well as the execution constraints between them [11]. By using business process modeling, different information can be captured such as organizational, functional, informational, behavioral and context information.…”

Abstract:The trustworthiness of systems that support complex collaborative business processes is an emergent property. In order to address users' trust concerns, trustworthiness requirements of software systems must be elicited and satisfied. The aim of this paper is to address the gap that exists between end-users' trust concerns and the lack of implementation of proper trustworthiness requirements. New technologies like cloud computing bring new capabilities for hosting and offering complex collaborative business operations. However, these advances might bring undesirable side effects, e.g., introducing new vulnerabilities and threats caused by collaboration and data exchange over the Internet. Hence, users become more concerned about trust. Trust is subjective; trustworthiness requirements for addressing trust concerns are difficult to elicit, especially if there are different parties involved in the business process. We propose a user-centered trustworthiness requirement analysis and modeling framework. We integrate the subjective trust concerns into goal models and embed them into business process models as objective trustworthiness requirements. Business process model and notation is extended to enable modeling trustworthiness requirements. This paper focuses on the challenges of elicitation, refinement and modeling trustworthiness requirements. An application example from the healthcare domain is used to demonstrate our approach.

“…[15]. Few works focus on the methodology of extending BPMN by user-defined elements [16], so it can be interpreted as a lack of maturity in this area. BPMN2.0 offers extensibility mechanism for enhancing standard BPMN notation with user-defined attributes and elements.…”

Abstract-Popularization of process approach as a standard necessitates changing the ways of defining and identifying requisite competencies. They should be seen in the framework of tasks implemented within the business process. The complex nature of competencies requires expressive forms of description regarding their multidimensional character therefore codification of competencies is the area predestinated to make use of ontologies. The aim of this paper is to show how the ontology describing competencies can be linked with business process models to support process-oriented, dynamic competency management in a company. With this aim in mind a proposal of practical implementation of ontology-enhanced business process model was presented and illustrated by the example of software development.
