Toward a Well-structured Development Methodology for Business Process-oriented Software Systems based on Services

The Modelling of Data Dependencies for Executable Business Processes

“…Nowadays, to survive in a highly competitive and uncertain environment, organizations face numerous challenges in effi ciently and eff ectively executing their data rich business processes, and therefore require strong Information Systems (IS) -business alignment [Ullah and Lai 2011;Mondragón et al 2013]. To sustain themselves in the market, these organizations need to fi nd ways to better manage and adapt their business processes in response to changes, trends and developments in the business environment [Stalk, Evans and Shulman 1992;Daoudi and Nurcan 2007;Sun and Zhao 2013].…”

“…Th ere is an evident need to incorporate data quality considerations into the whole data cycle, encompassing managerial/governance as well as technical aspects [Blake and Mangiameli 2011;Sadiq 2013]. While the need for the alignment of business processes and their support systems has been emphasized and discussed, there is still a great need for systematic approaches and tools regarding data quality [Madnick et al 2009;Mondragón et al 2013;Zhu et al 2014]. …”

“…Diff erent approaches and measures have been developed over the years to contend with information quality assessment needs, but the notion of information quality within process modelling and design methods has received relatively little attention [Blake and Mangiameli 2011;Ofner, Otto and Österle 2012]. Th is research concentrates on the linkage between two topics-information quality and business process modelling, since there is still a great need for methods and models for dealing with quality of information fl ows in business processes [Mondragón et al 2013;Zhu et al 2014]. Th e focus is on the importance of information quality dimensions for the successful execution of business processes.…”

Uma Abordagem de Gestão e Desenvolvimento de Automatização de Processos de Negócios com apoio de BPMS

“…Patricia et al [Patricia et al 2011] Apresentam um meta-modelo, no qual especifica formalmente as interações necessárias entre as atividades de análise de processo de negócio e as atividades de desenvolvimento de software para automatização desses processos, a fim de extinguir a lacuna que existe entre elas. [Mondragón et al 2013] Apresentam de forma bem estruturada uma metodologia para desenvolvimento de sistemas com apoio de BPMS. Nela são apresentadas quatro fases: Previsão, Análise e Design, Construção, Execução e Monitoração.…”
