Model-Driven Context Configuration in Business Process Management Systems: An Approach Based on Knowledge Graphs

Conceptual Modeling Education as a “Design Problem”

“…for a BPMN diagram: give me all tasks following this particular decision made in my department. Thus, we argue that a modeling language provides a schema for a model repositoryan analogy with traditional databases that students easily grasp (and that can be further extrapolated towards the other oversimplifications discussed here);  Models can be serialized in ways that preserve not only their visual appearance, but also machine-readable semanticsfrom traditional standard serializations such as XPDL to the more recent proposal of RDF graphs for model-driven data fabrics [17]. Oversimplification 2.…”

“…As mentioned before, we include under "model queries" any means of retrieving model contentsfrom a serialized version of models (e.g. XML-based, JSON-based, RDF-based [17]), with a query engine built in the modeling environment itself (e.g. AQL in BEE-UP [21] reusable for any ADOxx modeling platform [24] based tools), through some dedicated APIs.…”

“…The success of the proposed treatments manifests in the availability of publishable research results authored by master students and presented in prestigious conferencessee BIR 2019 [17], ENASE 2018 [29], ICEIS 2018 [30] CAISE 2018 workshops [25] and PoEM 2018 workshops [31]. This has been a premiere in the first author's institution and further inspires industry collaborations on model-driven engineering for which students have, for the first time, a holistic understanding of the nature of models and how they can drive the engineering of other types of artifacts even when models do not play the role of graphical documentation.…”
