“…Goal models used in goal-oriented requirements analysis can be used to design and verify business process models. Horita et al [8], sun et al [9], Nagel et al [10] proposed a method to transform goal models into business process models. By doing so, we can clarify what kind of business process is required to achieve the goal in the organization.…”

Process mining is a technology that extracts useful knowledge from event logs output from information systems and utilizes it for business process analysis and improvement. Conventional process mining approaches do not take into account information about organizational goals, and thus may output process models that inhibit the goal of the organization, for example, "to reduce cost". To solve such problems, goal-oriented process discovery method was proposed as an existing research. On the other hand, one of the methods to generate process models is process model repair. This method uses a process model and an event log as input, and repairs the existing process model to reproduce all the behaviors observed in the event log. However, the existing process model repair methods do not take into account the information about goals. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a goal-oriented process model repair method. It is easy to visually identify and compare which parts of the existing process model satisfy the goal satisfaction and which parts do not satisfy the goal. In addition, the structure of the model is simpler and closer to the initial model, and its effectiveness can be demonstrated. The effectiveness of the model was confirmed by experimental results.

“…Several related works focus on the link between goals, processes, and context. However, they either focus on procedural process models that are not suitable for KiPs [6,9,13,21], consistency analysis rather than process modeling [7,8] or they do not cover all of these three aspects (i.e., goals, processes, and context) in an integrated and holistic manner [10][11][12]15,16,19].…”

Knowledge-intensive processes (KiPs) progress in a flexible way towards the achievement of process goals. Contextual factors like location and regulations affect how these goals are achieved in KiPs. Conventionally, a context is considered to be either static or dynamic. For some KiPs part of the context can be dynamic, meaning that the context can change during the execution of the KiP as a result of the decisions and interpretations of the knowledge-worker based on the information gained throughout the process. A holistic approach linking dynamic context, goals and processes is vital for modeling such KiPs. This paper presents a method, based on enterprise models, for integrated modeling of KiPs with contextual goals under dynamic contexts. With our method, we guide business analysts in modeling complex, flexible KiPs under dynamic contexts.

“…The work by Horita et al (Horita, Honda, et al, 2014) proposes an approach for transforming goals and sub-goals from KAOS models into BPMN modelling elements. The proposal offers a set of transformation rules to be applied incrementally from top to lower-level goals.…”

“…The proposal aims to compare a BPMN model generated by process mining against a reference business process model in BPMN, previously designed in alignment with a MAP goal model using the method by Kraiem, Kaffela, and Khanjari (Kraiem et al, 2014), with a business process model mined from the information system logs. Similarly, the alignment approach by Horita et al (Horita, Honda, et al, 2014) has been applied to analyse the alignment of business process models extracted from logs of organisational daily operations through process mining techniques (Horita, Hirayama, et al, 2019). Using a pattern-based method, the authors propose to repair goal models by dealing with the repair of business process models.…”

Design and Implementation of a Model-Driven Software Production Method: from Strategy to Code

New, disruptive technologies emerge daily, changing the world as we know it: how we learn, work, and socially interact. This ever-changing scenario pushes organisations to quickly adapt not only their products and services but also their structure and strategies to survive and thrive. As has been widely studied, aligning information technology to high-level goals is key for an organisation to adapt quickly to its environment. Model-driven development (MDD) methods have contributed to this by systematically including business goals in the software development process, providing traceability, quality and efficiency through model-to-model transformations. Yet, existing MDD methods have not included organisational strategy and structure in the development process. This thesis integrates organisational information into a baseline MDD method composed of the OO-Method, an object-oriented model-driven development method, and Communication Analysis, a communication-oriented business process modelling method. The baseline MDD method is extended by the main contributions of this thesis: LiteStrat, an organisational modelling method, and Stra2Bis, a method for designing strategically aligned business processes. LiteStrat supports modelling the external influences that drive new software development endeavours and the strategy and organisational structure to address such influence. Stra2Bis integrates LiteStrat and Communication Analysis through three model-to-model transformation guidelines, generating the scaffold of business processes aligned with the organisation's structure and strategy. Sound experimental validations were performed to assess the methods' improvements in completeness and accuracy and their effect on the method users' efficiency and satisfaction. Further work regards implementing the methods into industrial contexts and their continuous evolution. v ResumCada dia sorgixen noves tecnologies que canvien el món tal com el coneixem: com aprenem, treballem i ens relacionem. Aquest escenari porta a les organitzacions a adaptar ràpidament no sols els seus productes i servicis, sinó també la seua estructura i estratègies per a sobreviure i prosperar. Com s'ha estudiat àmpliament, alinear la tecnologia de la informació amb objectius d'alt nivell és clau perquè una organització s'adapte ràpidament al seu entorn. Els mètodes de desenvolupament dirigits per models (MDD) hi han contribuït en incloure els objectius de negoci en el procés de desenvolupament de programari, proporcionant traçabilitat, qualitat i eficiència mitjançant transformacions de model a model. No obstant, els mètodes MDD existents no han inclòs l'estratègia i l'estructura de l'organització en el procés de desenvolupament. Aquesta tesi integra la informació organitzacional en un mètode MDD existent compost per OO-Method, un mètode MDD orientat a objectes, i Anàlisis de Comunicacions, un mètode de modelatge de processos de negoci orientat a la comunicació. A ells, s'integren les principals contribucions d'aquesta tesi: LiteStrat, un mètode de modelat...
