In order to improve the efficiency of conformance checking in business process management, a business alignment approach is presented based on transition systems between relation matrices and Petri nets. Firstly, a log-based relation matrix of the events is obtained according to the event log. Then, the events in the relation matrix are observed and the transitions in the model are firing, and the activities in the log and in the model are compared. Next, the states of the log and the model are recorded until no new state can be generated, so a transition system can be obtained which includes optimal alignments between the event log and the process model. Finally, two detailed algorithms are presented to obtain an optimal alignment and all optimal alignments between the trace and the model based on the given cost function, respectively. The availability and effectiveness of the proposed approach are proved theoretically.

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.

Comprehensive Survey

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.

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.
