“…Among the existed business process modeling standards, business process modeling notation (BPMM) is widely adopted. Wohed et al (2006) discussed the strengths and weaknesses of BPMN compared with three other standards, i.e. UML2.0 AD, BPEL, and Oracle BPEL PM v.10.1.2.…”

n recent years, clients from various industries have been seeking help from IBM in their supply chain transformation to gain competitive advantage. We have developed a comprehensive tool, SmartSCOR, which integrates the cross-industry process standard SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model and a variety of operations research techniques to facilitate our clients' end-to-end supply chain transformation. SmartSCOR enables structured supply chain modeling as analysis basis and analyzes both static and dynamic aspects of a supply chain. Static analysis includes benchmarking with best practices, root-cause analysis, etc. Dynamic analysis evaluates the performance and robustness of alternative supply chain designs through simulation. SmartSCOR has been successfully applied in IBM customer projects. We present two cases in this paper.

Abstract. The specification of activities of the different stakeholders is an important activity for software development. Currently, a lot of specification languages like task models, activity diagrams, state charts, and business specifications are used to document the results of the analysis of the domain in most projects. The paper discusses the aspect of reusability by considering generic submodels. This approach increases the quality of models. Additionally, the separation of concerns of cooperation and individual work by subjectoriented specifications is discussed. It will be demonstrated how task models can be used to support subject-oriented specification by so called team models and role models in a more precise way than S-BPM specifications. More precise restrictions on instances of roles can be specified.

“…BPMN and UML Activity Diagrams are currently considered as the two most suitable and popular ones. While these standards are largely overlapping, BPMN is slightly stronger and more expressive [12], so we have choose BPMN as the basic notation for modeling business processes in the proposed platform. BPMN uses different types of events, gateways, exceptions, and compensation associations to represent the control flow.…”

This paper proposes a novel framework for automated software service composition that can significantly support and enhance collaboration among enterprises in service provision industry, such as in tourism insurance and e-commerce collaborative networks (CNs). Sharing/integration of software services in CNs, as well as interoperation among implemented software services in this industry, are quite challenging. There is currently no machine readable standard notation that can unambiguously define the behavior of the software that implements the business processes, however typically enterprises in service industry formalize the definition of their on-line business services using standard business process modeling notation, such as BPMN. Our proposed framework is founded on service oriented architecture (SOA) paradigm. In the proposed framework, software services implementing on-line business services that are provided by different enterprises will be formally defined, using an extended BPMN notation to capture their semantics and behavior, as well as the WSDL notation to capture their syntax. Furthermore, the syntax, semantics and behavior of these software services will be registered in a service repository for the CN, so service discovery in this framework can go far beyond the current practice of service search by name, and can be even based on actual service behavior. The paper addresses enhancement of automated software service integration in CNs, through the application of the Reo coordination language, which is used to formalize the interaction among the composed services. The main reason for using Reo in this context is that it supports separating the computations needed by software components in an integrated system from their interactions. The suggested framework provides more flexibility and adaptability as well as cost-effectiveness in service composition, as to be supported in collaborative networks.
