We did a state of the art analysis of existing formal S-BPM execution semantics and analyzed the required language elements of an advanced smart energy grid Process Model. We extended an existing Abstract State Machines (ASM) specification to close the identified specification gaps. To foster the understanding of the specification details, we developed a specification conform reference implementation by using the executable CoreASM language and execution tool, developed a console application as CoreASM user interface, designed test models and used them to evaluate the contribution.","PeriodicalId":254563,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Subject-Oriented Business Process Management","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124149612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a resurgence of interest has occurred in how to use serious games as assistance to pedagogical activities over the last years. Serious games though must be designed for individuals to provide a personalized experience and increase perceived value for learners. However, creating such games is not an easy task, requiring an expertise from a wide variety of fields such as game and software developers, educational specialists, game testers and teachers. Driven from the above reasons we have designed and developed the IOLAOS platform, which aims to facilitate the collaboration of user roles in order to (a) enable educational experts to codify the learning process, styles and preferences into game creation, (b) share information and instructions with game developers to make their games adaptable (c) allow teachers to shape the learning process and create their own virtual classes, monitor learning sessions and customize their learner's game experience based on their profile, (d) offer learners a unique educational game experience and (e) permit game testers to constantly evaluate the whole process and provide feedback for the reliability of the platform and the learning process itself.","PeriodicalId":254563,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Subject-Oriented Business Process Management","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123705675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current research efforts attempt to include stakeholders in all phases of the business process lifecycle, as they possess valuable expert knowledge which is often hard to externalize. This paper examines the later phases of the design lifecycle, namely the validation of business process models. We examine the requirements on validation support and explore how these requirements can be met when aiming at the involvement of stakeholders inexperienced in modeling. We propose to use interactively enacted simulations for validation and present an empirical study conducted to assess whether such an approach can be realized both, conceptually and technically. Our results show interactively enacted simulation is a viable approach to model validation and in particular enables inexperienced modelers to contribute to such efforts.","PeriodicalId":254563,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Subject-Oriented Business Process Management","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127710031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To support such scenarios, we suggest two fundamental changes in process structure and control. Regarding structure, we move away from traditional process models towards process contexts, which can be organized around geographical locations. Regarding control, we move away from model-based control-flow towards dynamic activities defined by the participants as processes unfold. This research makes the following unique contributions: 1) It provides the first implementation of people-driven dynamic processes; 2) It provides the first implementation combining people-driven dynamic processes and geographical context; 3) Finally, it provides a unique approach to build process context, which leverages the possibilities brought by microblogging platforms in exchanging semi-structured and unstructured messages.","PeriodicalId":254563,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Subject-Oriented Business Process Management","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125638080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We designed and deployed a model-based instrument for measuring the experiences of both the general public and the civil servants, involved in information sharing, delivery and use and execution of environmental permit application services. In addition, information on the case-specific process structure that is underlying the service delivery was to be gathered with the instrument. We combined a collaborative, stakeholder-oriented process modelling technique with workshops, inspired by the CoMPArE method, with detailed service experience-oriented probing questions focusing on interactions, roles and process 'bottlenecks'. We carried out a first, baseline measurement on the information, processes and experiences around environmental permit services through 6 identical six-hour workshop sessions with 67 civil servants. Our experiences in executing the baseline measurement are reported, as well as some main results, and lessons learned in developing and applying the workshop approach.","PeriodicalId":254563,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Subject-Oriented Business Process Management","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127369373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From a technological view, it requires architectures and systems coupling heterogeneous technologies, from an operations perspective, it requires context-sensitive representations. Ontologies do not only support alignment, but also integration and development processes. For the introduced ontology we utilize the multi-perspective RAMI4.0 framework, as it provides several layers and perspectives, including production and business processes. We suggest using Subject-oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM) models to represent executable processes, as they allow encapsulating industry standard-conform as well as stakeholder behavior. Thereby, the ontology backs perspective specific knowledge, and can be adapted as semantic baseline in a flexible way.","PeriodicalId":254563,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Subject-Oriented Business Process Management","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127281110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
