A Methodological Exploration of BPM Community
(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2017) Saman R. Abdi; FA15-RCS-007; LHR TP 6831; Dr. Abid Sohail
The study is motivated to explore the collaboration between the authors, the patterns which are being used by the authors and the areas on which the authors are working. The end product of the research is a set of generic guidelines for the field of business process management. Business process management conference, which was one of the most famous conference is been used to develop the dataset for the study. Business process management conference started since 2003 so the papers since 2003 till 2016 were collected to create the dataset. The collaboration of authors is been studied by applying certain filters over the raw data of business process management conference. The research pattern of different authors was been studied individually from each paper and later they were all combined by identifying the common or similar aspects of the processes to form a set of frameworks. The study has created a generic set of five frameworks. Each for a specific domain of business process management i.e. business process similarity, business process abstraction, business process model redesign, business process monitoring, and business process mining. The study also provides some key facts about the most collaborative authors and the domains on which the authors or the research community is mainly focusing.
A Structural Variants Process Models Collection for Process Similarities Evaluations
(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2017) Rimsha Anam; FA15-RCS-017; LHR TP 6822; Dr. Abid Sohail
Organizations having years of involvement in business process management, regularly keep up business process model repository containing hundreds or even a large number of process models. The process models in their repositories typically evolve from different sources and are created by various stakeholders. A new process models may be by expanding or refining existing models. Therefore, process models have a tendency to collect duplicate process models which, if left unconsolidated, may develop autonomously and cause irregularities. Similarly, it frequently happens that many organizations manage the business process models that have similar objectives but involve different business unit which may differentiate one another. The similarity (Correspondence) of process models can be explored through label, structure and behavior. This study is mainly focusing structural similarity measurement. The variations in the process model though structural correspondences have already been proposed in literature. But, majority of them are conceptual i.e. not providing the implication and verification on process model collections. Moreover, the previous studies on structural changes are not yet defining any proper classification for the structural variations. The first contribution of this study is the provision process model design classification through structural variations. We have tried to explore the availability of BPMN dataset and found some existences, one of which is SAP business process repository but, that was not available publically. So, as a contribution the complete repository was created with 600 different variants of 150 original models. The original models were taken from a verified source of our research group available dataset. Furthermore, the regenerated models were once verified from domain experts and finally included. The rigor evaluations were performed on dataset both manually and automated.
