| Læringsmål: | After the course work the student should be able to:
• apply the core primitives of the Business Process Modelling and Notation (BPMN) 2.0 standard for describing business processes,
• use a representative BPMN process modelling tool for collaborative design of processes
• apply a declarative (constraint-based) process modelling notation for describing flexible business and workflow processes
• analyse process models for soundness, deadlocks and compliance
• compare and relate BPM to Adaptive Case Management (ACM)
• communicate to peers and non-specialists:
• the most relevant flexibility issues in Process Aware Information Systems (PAIS)
• the typical challenges that exist when targetting flexible process support in information systems
• the different paradigms for realizing flexible PAIS (e.g. prespecified and constraint-based processes)
• the gaps in industry needs and existing solutions for realizing flexible PAIS
• techniques for process mining
• current research problems in the field of IT support for flexible business processes
• be able to evaluate, explain the reasons for and choose relevant notations to describe business and case management processes as studied in the group project work |
| Fagligt indhold: | Business Process Management (BPM) is being pushed forward by major vendors of enterprise systems such as SAP, IBM, Oracle and Adobe. The ultimate goal of BPM is to enable a Real-Time Enterprise in which business processes are monitored and supported by it-systems at all times providing the relevant information to support executing the process by humans and automated it services. Moreover, BPM is to be supported by a process-oriented platform supporting rapid changes of the business processes.
The objectives of the course are to enable the student to apply a state-of-the art BPMN collaborative design tool and understand and communicate to peers and non-specialists:
the most relevant flexibility issues in Process Aware Information Systems (PAIS)
the typical challenges that exist when targetting flexible process support in information systems
the different paradigms for realizing flexible PAIS (e.g. prespecified and constraint-based processes)
the gaps in industry needs and existing solutions for realizing flexible PAIS
and be able to evaluate, explain the reasons for and choose relevant notations to describe business and case management processes as studied in the group project work |
| Læringsaktiviteter: | 14 ugers undervisning bestående af forelæsninger, øvelser og vejledning The course is based on lectures and project work in groups. The students will be given real examples of business process descriptions to evaluate and model in a state-of-the art BPMN design tool and using a research prototype for constraint-based process modelling. |
| Obligatoriske aktivititer: | It is mandatory to do the group project and upload a pre-report (for each group) during the term (date will be given at the lectures). |
| Eksamensform og -beskrivelse: | X. experimental examination form (7-scale; external exam), 7-trins-skala, Ekstern prøve The final report (for each group) is to be uploaded to LearnIT May 14 (the date given by the study-administration).
As part of the final report, the group must select one of a given set of advanced subjects (including Monitoring and Mining Flexible Processes, Process Evolution and Instance Migration, Ensuring State Compliance with a Changed Process Model, Object-aware processes) and write a theory section about this subject as part of the report.
At the exam the group first gives a 10 minutes presentation of the report. After this, each student is examined individually for 10 minutes where the student gets questions to the project and the curriculum in general.
