The Future

Transformation of BPMN business process model will be a very important topic in the future of the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain environment. Machine transformation can increase the quality of transformation and thus reduce errors. The research paper first describes BPMN and the Hyperledger Fabric environment, what smart contracts are and why they are so important. In the second part, the raw transformation model is described, where the inputs for the transformations are BPMN and the metadata file, and the result is a smart contract written in Java that can be imported into the Hyperledger Fabric environment.

Purpose The concept of business process (BP) management plays a major role in information systems with several applications. Modeling languages and tools can be used by domain experts to help in the business process model (BPM) design. The purpose of this paper is to focus on quality improvement for BPMs through the proposition of a novel prototype and apply it on real case for BPMs in the field of higher education. Design/methodology/approach The authors developed a prototype named Business Process Model Quality Assess (BPMoQualAssess) that works in two steps. In the first step, it allows designing and verifying the quality of BPMs in the field of higher education. Second, it focuses on evaluating process results through a set of criteria and specific measures for each process. Both steps are based on three main key concepts: measures, threshold values and guidelines in order to guide the modeler in assessing his/her model and also to get good results from the latter. Findings The authors implemented the BPMoQualAssess prototype to evaluate the quality of BPMs as well as its results. Furthermore, the authors have conducted a case study with a process in the field of higher education. Indeed, first, the authors obtained an improved BPM with a high-quality level. Second, the authors then evaluated the results by focusing on measures, threshold values and appropriate quality guidelines in order to obtain better results. Originality/value In the context of this study, the authors aim to make a significant contribution to the knowledge on the subject of the quality for higher education sector processes, on one hand on the models and on the other hand the results of processes. All these concepts are fully nested within a new quality prototype for process model evaluation and validated on real BPMs in the field of higher education. There are many publications focusing on BP quality in the literature, but only a few approaches combine the main keys thresholds, measures and guidelines. In fact, the principal contribution of this research consists in linking measures and threshold values to the resulting guidelines as they have been presented separately in the literature. Furthermore, the authors elaborate for each measure its own recommendation to guide the modeler in redesigning his/her model. Also, the authors define threshold values of process results in higher education and also took into account the opinion of domain experts. To sum up, the originality of this work appears in the application of BPM in the field of higher education given the lack of work in the literature for this direction, and it will pave a way for research in BP innovation areas.

Starting Point

This paper emphasizes the importance of developing information systems aimed at improving quality of operations. It is presented the basic and most important steps which are the basis for the formation of information systems. An example which is illustrated in this paper refers to the modeling of business processes and relational databases. The importance of proper and documented business process model is reflected in the consistency of the flow of information, data models and activities and their clear perception. It can be considered that the present step is the basis for the further implementation of information technology. In line with this consideration, this paper aims to highlight the importance of the problem presented in the function of improving quality of operations. The presented methodological framework can be universally applied as a starting point for the design of information systems relating to the segment of building permits issuing.

AbstractChecklists are a valuable tool to ensure process quality and quality of care. To ensure proper integration in clinical processes, it would be desirable to generate checklists directly from formal process descriptions. Those checklists could also be used for user interaction in context-aware surgical assist systems. We built a tool to automatically convert Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) process models to checklists displayed as HTML websites. Gateways representing decisions are mapped to checklist items that trigger dynamic content loading based on the placed checkmark. The usability of the resulting system was positively evaluated regarding comprehensibility and end-user friendliness.
