Process model matching is a key activity in many business process management tasks. It is an activity that consists of detecting an alignment between process models by finding similar activities in two process models. This article proposes a method based on WordNet glosses to improve the effectiveness of process model matchers. The proposed method is composed of three steps. In the first step, all activities of the two BPs are extracted. Second, activity labels are expanded using word glosses and finally, similar activities are detected using the cosine similarity metric. Two experiments were conducted on well-known datasets to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. In the first one, an alignment is computed using the cosine similarity metric only and without a process of expansion. While, in the second experiment, the cosine similarity metric is applied to the expanded activities using glosses. The results of the experiments were promising and show that expanding activities using WordNet glosses improves the effectiveness of process model matchers.

Traditional enterprise information systems have many defects, so business process management (BPM) system was applied to the virtual enterprise and virtual enterprise process model is established based on BPM system. The dominant enterprise and the member enterprises used BPM system for their own information management system in the virtual enterprise. The BPM system model of the virtual enterprise was divided into the formation process and the operation process. The analysis method based on stochastic colored Petri net(SCPN) was also presented which can be used to model and analyze the process model in order to obtain the system performance analysis data. The virtual enterprise resources utilization rate can be seen. The model extends the application area of BPM system and provides a reference for the construction and management of virtual enterprise.

Business Process Management (BPM) research resulted in a plethora of methods, techniques, and tools to support the design, enactment, management, and analysis of operational business processes. This survey aims to structure these results and provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in BPM. In BPM the concept of a process model is fundamental. Process models may be used to configure information systems, but may also be used to analyze, understand, and improve the processes they describe. Hence, the introduction of BPM technology has both managerial and technical ramifications and may enable significant productivity improvements, cost savings, and flow-time reductions. The practical relevance of BPM and rapid developments over the last decade justify a comprehensive survey.

Through the analysis of the execution and dispatching principle of the Petri net, the business process management mode based on Petri net is proposed. We merge the place node and the transition node, and reside the token in the node. The only token in process instances and the sub-token in parallel process are introduced, which can avoid conflicts caused by multi-tokens. The business process model for the drawings design and approval is established, and it is verified by the workflow modeling system.

Resumen El objetivo del artículo es caracterizar el estándar Business Process Model and Notation BPMN, como herramienta gráfica para el modelado de los procesos de negocio de una organización, y realizar un análisis crítico de las posibilidades que ofrece, identificando sus ventajas y desventajas para representar adecuadamente aspectos como actores, actividades, eventos, flujos de trabajo, controles y recursos entre otros. Para verificar la funcionalidad que ofrece BPMN, se usó como caso de estudio ‘Alquiler de Vehículos’, que incluye los procesos básicos de compra, gestión, alquiler y venta de vehículo. Se encontró que la versión BPMN 2.0, incluye un conjunto de prestaciones adicionales que permiten modelar en forma completa y precisa los procesos de negocio, condición necesaria para que a partir de estos modelos se pueda implementar correctamente el sistema de gestión de procesos de negocio, utilizando una herramienta válida para tal fin. Se concluye que BPMN es una herramienta sencilla, fácil de comprender, pero con una gran potencialidad para el modelado de procesos de cualquier tipo de organización. Palabras Clave: Business Process Management BPM, Business Process Model and Notation BPMN, Alquiler de Vehículos, Business Process Management Suite BPMS.   Abstract The aim of this paper is to describe the standard Business Process Model and Notation BPMN, graphic tool for modeling business processes of an organization, and critical analysis of the possibilities, identifying advantages and disadvantages to adequately represent aspects as actors, activities, events, workflows, controls and resources among others. To verify the functionality offered BPMN, is used as a case study ‘Rent a Car’, which includes the basic processes of acquisition, management, leasing and sale of vehicle. We found that this standard, particularly BPMN version 2.0, includes a set of additional features that allow you to model a complete and accurate business processes, necessary condition for that since these models are able to successfully implement the business process management system, using a valid tool for this purpose. We conclude that BPMN is a simple tool, easy to understand, but with a great potential for modeling processes of any type of organization.

Ainda há um número significativo de alunos que ingressam no ensino fundamental com transtornos do neurodesenvolvimento, como o Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) e a Deficiência Intelectual (DI), sem diagnóstico garantindo seus direitos legais aos Serviços Educacionais Especiais (SES). De acordo com o sistema público de saúde brasileiro (SUS), a identificação precoce e o monitoramento do TEA devem ser realizados pelas equipes de saúde e educação. O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver um modelo de tomada de decisão, com um fluxograma detalhando tarefas e ações, utilizado por professores do ensino fundamental do sistema público de ensino com instrumentos para avaliação de indicadores de TEA e DI. O estudo foi realizado em duas fases. Fase 1: Dois instrumentos em um formato de checklist de verificação foram produzidos contendo descrições sobre as características dos transtornos para auxiliar o professor na avaliação dos alunos. Fase 2: Dois fluxogramas foram criados, um para cada transtorno, composto por um conjunto de atividades sequenciais logicamente organizadas. O procedimento para os fluxogramas consistiu em um processo baseado no Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), utilizando a plataforma de código aberto Business Process Management System (BPMS). O relatório final permite a visualização dos resultados da avaliação, como indicadores do checklist, avaliação neuropsicológica, avaliações emocionais e comportamentais. O estudo apresenta um modelo de processo para professores e gestores educacionais que utiliza um sistema computadorizado para auxiliá-los na coleta e análise de dados, bem como tomada de decisão em tempo real para identificar alunos com suspeita de transtornos do neurodesenvolvimento.

Modern business process management (BPM) is increasingly interesting for laboratory automation. End-to-end workflow automation and improved top-level systems integration for information technology (IT) and automation systems are especially prominent objectives. With the ISO Standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.X, a system-independent and interdisciplinary accepted graphical process control notation is provided, allowing process analysis, while also being executable. The transfer of BPM solutions to structured laboratory automation places novel demands, for example, concerning the real-time-critical process and systems integration. The article discusses the potential of laboratory execution systems (LESs) for an easier implementation of the business process management system (BPMS) in hierarchical laboratory automation. In particular, complex application scenarios, including long process chains based on, for example, several distributed automation islands and mobile laboratory robots for a material transport, are difficult to handle in BPMSs. The presented approach deals with the displacement of workflow control tasks into life science specialized LESs, the reduction of numerous different interfaces between BPMSs and subsystems, and the simplification of complex process modelings. Thus, the integration effort for complex laboratory workflows can be significantly reduced for strictly structured automation solutions. An example application, consisting of a mixture of manual and automated subprocesses, is demonstrated by the presented BPMS-LES approach.

Abstract A standard solution regarding business process management automation in enterprises is the use of workflow management systems working by the Rule-Based Reasoning approach. In such systems, the process model which is designed entirely before the implementation has to meet all needs deriving from business activity of the organization. In practice, it means that great limitations arise in process control abilities, especially in the dynamic business environment. Therefore, new kinds of workflow systems may help which typically work in more agile way e.g. following the Case-Based Reasoning approach. The paper shows another possible solution – the use of emergence theory which indicates among other conditions required to fulfill stimulation of the system (for example the business environment) to run grass-roots processes that lead to arising of new more sophisticated organizing forms. The paper also points the using opportunity of such techniques as the processing of complex events to fulfill key conditions pointed by the emergence theory.
