Our approach, which unifies state structure and behavior modeling, leads to a more holistic model of an enterprise, and its multitude of business processes, compared to traditional BPM approaches, such as Petri Nets and BPMN, which are exclusively focused on single business processes. We discuss the ontological foundations of our approach and show the superiority of our rule-based modeling and simulation language AORSL, which allows the operational modeling of entire business systems and their business processes.","PeriodicalId":351015,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 15th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116694283","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}

In this paper we propose the integration of cross-cuttings standardized control access policies (based on RBAC model and Oasis XACML) into legacy business processes, using a separation of concerns approach.","PeriodicalId":351015,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 15th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121483676","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}

An interesting approach is Bedell's method. However, this method originates from a time where enterprises we restructured according to the classical silo architecture. Nowadays the importance of IT has increased, and IT systems and services are more and more interwoven with the business. Enterprise Architecture is a model-based approach that takes into consideration how companies are structured today and how they apply IT. In order to use Enterprise Architecture models in conjunction with Bedell's method the method needs to be extended. This paper presents an updated version of Bedell's method that exploits Enterprise Architecture models, in particular the information they contain about the alignment of IT support to the business. In addition, the paper illustrates the application of the method using an example.","PeriodicalId":351015,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 15th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126929033","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}

Based on an industrial case, it presents a way to extract a role's information demand and to use this as initial configuration for agent-based services. In addition to the meta-model included in the enterprise modeling language, the use of a common ontology is proposed which captures both, the perspective of information demand and services. The architecture of the agent-based services is following the idea to characterize all enterprise members and components by their functions and to represent them by sets of services provided by them. The main contributions of the paper are (1) to show that a role's information demand is relevant for service configura¬tion, (2) to present a way of extracting information demand from enterprise models, and (3) to extend an approach for SOA-based enterprise representation with information demand.","PeriodicalId":351015,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 15th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124801231","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 present a clinical reference process model describing the integration of clinical meaningful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for acute diseases taking additionally into account the possibilities for automatic extraction of KPIs from clinical information systems and considering the characteristics of the clinical environment, such as flexible workflows and modular process structure during a patient's stay in hospital.","PeriodicalId":351015,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 15th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121610013","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}

The fruitful combination of SOA (beyond'only' Web Services / BPEL based SOA implementations)and WfMS can be used to run business processes through the 'orchestration' of services with business value. However, work?ow applications (WfApp) often use proprietary interfaces from WfMS resulting in a tight coupling between both. If the WfMS has to change that easily becomes a critical cost factor. Beside service orchestration a continuous process optimizationis crucial. This requires business process controlling (BPC)that provides a substantial contribution to the competitiveness of enterprises. We thus address two problems: Firstly, we present an integration architecture that decouples a WfApp from the underlying WfMS. Secondly, BPC components are integrated into the architecture, which are based on a data warehouse and a service ('BPC logger') to record business objects. A prototypic implementation using a standardized insurance process validates the results.","PeriodicalId":351015,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE 15th International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference Workshops","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126444705","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}
