The Business Process Model to represent the process of developing a medical device is presented in this paper. In the age of population aging and a growing amount of patients, enormous pressure is put on improving their care and living conditions. The development of medical devices is a complicated and expensive process. Therefore, the whole process was subjected to an analysis of business processes, and the resulting model was expressed using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). The model aims to illustrate the consentient process of designing a medical device using graphical notation. This notation is suitable for displaying models of healthcare environments thanks to its user-friendliness and easy comprehensibility for all parties involved. In addition, this study demonstrates that the model in BPMN notation by its depth of specificity falls to the level of activity sub-processes. This level of abstraction allows a comprehensive view of the entire process, as well as future extensions for a more in-depth analysis and process mining techniques.

Business process model was created to make it easier for business process stakeholders to communicate and discuss the structure of the process more effectively and efficiently. Business process models can also be business artifacts and media that can be analyzed further to improve and maintain organizational competitiveness. To analyze business processes in a structured manner, the effect/results of the execution of business processes will be one of the important information. The effect/result of the execution of certain activities or a business process as a whole are useful for managing business processes, including for improvements related to future business processes. This effect annotation approach needs to be supported by business process modeling tools to assist business analysts in managing business processes properly. In previous research, the author has developed a plugin that supports business analysts to describe the effects semantically attached to activities in the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) business process model. In this paper, the author describes the unit testing process and its results on the plugin of semantic effect annotation that have been developed. Unit testing was carried out using the basic path testing technique and has obtained three test paths. The results of unit test for plugin are also described in this paper.

Business process models are often forgotten after their creation and its representation is not usually updated. This appears to be negative as processes evolve over time. This paper discusses the issue of business process models maintenance through the definition of a collaborative method that creates interaction contexts enabling business actors to discuss about business processes, sharing business knowledge. The collaboration method extends the discussion about existing process representations to all stakeholders promoting their update. This collaborative method contributes to improve business process models, allowing updates based in change proposals and discussions, using a groupware tool that was developed. Four case studies were developed in real organizational environment. We came to the conclusion that the defined method and the developed tool can help organizations to maintain a business process model updated based on the inputs and consequent discussions taken by the organizational actors who participate in the processes.

The successful application of Information Technologies (IT) in an organization depends on the business processes used for managing such technologies. It is widely recognized that the use of the Enterprise Architecture (EA) practice for organizing these technologies into a framework is a key factor for achieving a better IT - business alignment. This article presents a business process model for the IT Management that can be used in medium and large organizations as a framework for modelling and analysing their IT management processes. The main difference between the described model and others found in the literature is that our model places EA concept at the centre of the organization of IT Management activities. It provides a better definition, organization and comprehension of the essential and support IT management activities. The described model is being used in several organizations as a referential framework to improve their current IT Management processes.

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. Keywords: Business Process Management BPM, Business Process Model and Notation BPMN, Rent a Car, Business Process Management Suite BPMS.

The constant change and rising complexity of organizations, mainly due to the transforming nature of their business processes, has driven the increase of interest in business process management by organizations. It is recognized that knowing business processes can help to ensure that the software under development will meet the business needs. Some of software development processes (like unified process) already refer to business process modeling as a first effort in the software development process. A business process model usually is created under the supervision, clarification, approval, and validation of the business stakeholders. Thus, a business process model is a proper representation of the reality (as is or to be), having lots of useful information that can be used in the development of the software system that will support the business. The chapter uses the information existing in business process models to derive software models specially focused in generating a data model.

Business process modelling is one of the major aspects in the modern information system development. Recently business process model and notation (BPMN) has become a standard technique to support this activity. Typically the BPMN notations are used to understand enterprise's business processes. However, limited work exists regarding how security concerns are addressed during the management of the business processes. This is a problem, since both business processes and security should be understood in parallel to support a development of the secure information systems. In the previous work we have analysed BPMN with respect to the domain model of the IS security risk management (ISSRM) and showed how the language constructs could be aligned to the concepts of the ISSRM domain model. In this paper the authors propose the BPMN extensions for security risk management based on the BPMN alignment to the ISSRM concepts. We illustrate how the extended BPMN could express assets, risks and risk treatment on few running examples related to the Internet store regarding the asset confidentiality, integrity and availability. Our proposal would allow system analysts to understand how to develop security requirements to secure important assets defined through business processes. The paper opens the possibility for business and security model interoperability and the model transformation between several modelling approaches (if these both are aligned to the ISSRM domain model).

Web Applications (WAs) have been often used to expose business processes to the users. WA modernization and evolution are complex and time-consuming activities that can be supported by software documentation (e.g., process models). When, as often happens, documentation is missing or is incomplete, documentation recovery and mining represent an important opportunity for reconstructing or completing it. Existing process-mining approaches, however, tend to recover models that are quite complex, rich, and intricate, thus difficult to understand and use for analysts and developers. Model refinement approaches have been presented in the literature to reduce the model complexity and intricateness while preserving the capability of representing the relevant information. In this chapter, the authors summarize approaches to mine first and refine later business process models from existing WAs. In particular, they present two process model refinement approaches: (1) re-modularization and (2) reduction. The authors introduce the techniques and show how to apply them to WAs.
