Abstract
The building of a re-configurable business process (BP) has gained importance in business organizations. It helps the organization to adapt to the agility in business goals. A proper context-driven re-configurable BP should be capable of integrating dynamic context information. However, this is absent in the existing studies. As a result, providing a suitable, expressive and re-configurable BP to the business organization stakeholders has become a challenging issue. The prevailing research works lack the proper consideration and suitable incorporation of the context-driven services to make a BP re-configurable. And then it can quickly respond and change its behavior to adapt to the rapid and unpredictable changing business environment. In addition, those methods hardly come up with any appropriate technique to use the set of specified goals to extract context-driven services. Those business goals are determined by the group of stakeholders of a business organization. This paper proposes a new method of re-configuring context-driven from a defined goal to sort out these vital challenges. Present context data is included in an existing BP to achieve a modified goal which immensely benefits the end-users. Thus, this approach is intrinsically highly user-centric, reusable, fast and inexpensive. To achieve this, an algorithm called Context-driven Re-configurable Business Process Achievement Algorithm (CDRBPA) is introduced and implemented. Based on Primary Context (PC), three software metrics, namely, Degree of re-usability (DRUPC), Degree of re-appropriation (DRAPC) and Degree of re-configurability (DRPC) have been proposed to measure the modifications done to the existing BP. In conclusion, various case studies with different complexities have been performed to show the strength of the proposed algorithm.
可重构业务流程(BP)的构建在企业组织中变得越来越重要。它帮助组织适应业务目标中的敏捷性。一个合适的上下文驱动的可重构BP应该能够集成动态上下文信息。然而,这在现有的研究中是缺失的。因此,向业务组织涉众提供合适的、可表达的和可重新配置的BP已成为一个具有挑战性的问题。主流的研究工作缺乏适当的考虑和适当的结合上下文驱动的服务,使BP可重新配置。然后,它可以快速响应和改变自己的行为,以适应快速和不可预测的变化的商业环境。此外,这些方法几乎没有提出任何适当的技术来使用指定的目标集来提取上下文驱动的服务。这些业务目标是由业务组织的利益相关者决定的。本文提出了一种从定义目标重新配置上下文驱动的新方法来整理这些重要挑战。当前上下文数据包含在现有BP中,以实现对最终用户极大有利的修改目标。因此,这种方法本质上是高度以用户为中心、可重用、快速和廉价的。为了实现这一点,引入并实现了一种称为上下文驱动的可重构业务流程实现算法(CDRBPA)的算法。基于初级上下文(Primary Context, PC),提出了可重用度(Degree of re-usability, DRUPC)、可重用度(Degree of re-appropriation, DRAPC)和可重构度(Degree of re-configurability, DRPC)三个软件度量指标来度量对现有BP的修改。总之,已经进行了不同复杂性的各种案例研究,以显示所提出算法的强度。
