Compliance by design for artifact-centric business processes

by Niels Lohmann , 2011
"... Compliance to legal regulations, internal policies, or best practices is becoming a more and more important aspect in business processes management. Compliance requirements are usually formulated in a set of rules that can be checked during or after the execution of the business process, called com ..."

subsequent verification of compliance is not required. This paper focuses on compliance by design and employs an artifactcentric approach. In this school of thought, business processes are not described as a sequence of tasks to be performed (i. e., imperatively), but from the point of view of the artifacts

A Methodology for Agent-Oriented Analysis and Design

by Michael Wooldridge , Nicholas R. Jennings, David Kinny , 1999
"... This paper presents a methodology for agent-oriented analysis and design. The methodology is general, in that it is applicable to a wide range of multi-agent systems, and comprehensive, in that it deals with both the macro-level (societal) and the micro-level (agent) aspects of systems. The methodol ..."

. The methodology is founded on the view of a system as a computational organisation consisting of various interacting roles. We illustrate the methodology through a case study (an agent-based business process management system).

The Application of Petri Nets to Workflow Management

by W.M.P. Van Der Aalst , 1998
"... Workflow management promises a new solution to an age-old problem: controlling, monitoring, optimizing and supporting business processes. What is new about workflow management is the explicit representation of the business process logic which allows for computerized support. This paper discusses the ..."

Conjunctive Artifact-Centric Services

by Piero Cangialosi, Giuseppe De Giacomo, Riccardo De Masellis, Riccardo Rosati
"... Artifact-centric services are stateful service descriptions centered around “business artifacts”, which contain both a data schema holding all the data of interest for the service, and a lifecycle schema, which specifies the process that the service enacts. In this paper, the data schemas are full- ..."

Artifact-centric choreographies

by Niels Lohmann, Karsten Wolf
"... Abstract. Classical notations for service collaborations focus either on the control flow of participating services (interacting models) or the order in which messages are exchanged (interaction models). None of these approaches emphasizes the evolution of data involved in the collaboration. In cont ..."

. In contrast, artifact-centric models pursue the converse strategy and begin with a specification of data objects. This paper extends existing concepts for artifact-centric business process models with the concepts of agents and locations. By making explicit who is accessing an artifact and where the artifact

SeGA: A Mediator for ArtifactCentric Business Processes

by Yutian Sun, Wei Xu, Jianwen Su, Jian Yang - In CoopIS , 2012
"... Abstract. Business processes (BPs) can be designed using a variety of model-ing languages and executed in different systems. In most BPM applications, the semantics of BPs needed for runtime management is often scattered across BP models, execution engines, and auxiliary stores of workflow systems. ..."

Artifact-centric modeling using BPMN

by Niels Lohmann, Martin Nyolt
"... Abstract. BPMN offers a rich pool of language constructs to model different aspects of choreographies, interorganizational business processes and service compositions. With collaborations and choreographies, BPMN enables the modeler concentrate on the control flow and the message flow, respectively. ..."
Abstract - Cited by 4 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
. At the same time, data flow is only treated as a subordinate extension. In contrast, recent artifact-centric approaches model processes from the point of view of the data objects that are manipulated during the process. This paper investigates to what extend BPMN is suitable to model artifact-centric

Verifiable UML Artifact-Centric Business Process Models

by Diego Calvanese, Marco Montali, Montserrat Estañol, Ernest Teniente
"... Artifact-centric business process models have gained increas-ing momentum recently due to their ability to combine struc-tural (i.e., data related) with dynamical (i.e., process re-lated) aspects. In particular, two main lines of research have been pursued so far: one tailored to business artifact m ..."

Static analysis of business artifact-centric operational models

by Cagdas E. Gerede, Kamal Bhattacharya, Jianwen Su - In IEEE International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications , 2007
"... Business Artifacts are the core entities used by busi-nesses to record information pertinent to their operations. Business operational models are representations of the pro-cessing of business artifacts. Traditional process modeling approaches focus on the actions taken to achieve a cer-tain goal (v ..."

(verb-centric).Business artifact-centric modeling starts by identifying what is acted upon (noun-centric), and constructs business operational models by identifying the tasks/actions that business actors execute to add business value. In this paper, we identify important classes of prop

Artifact-Centric Compliance Demonstration for ISO 26262 Projects Using Model-Based Design

by Mirko Conrad, The Mathworks Gmbh
"... Abstract: Automotive software components are frequently engineered using Model-Based Design. For software that needs to comply with the ISO 26262 standard, OEMs and suppliers look for efficient ways to demonstrate compliance with the software-related requirements of this functional safety standard. ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. This paper discusses an artifact-centric compliance demonstration approach intended to streamline ISO 26262 compliance documentation for software developed using Model-Based Design with code generation. Using templates and distinguishing between application-specific and application-agnostic compliance
