Formelle forudsætninger:This course is part of the fourth semester in the bachelor’s degree in Global Business Informatics. 
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

  • 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



  • 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:Content

Workload

Activities
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).

Feedback

What if the student fails to pass a mandatory activity:

Be aware: The student will receive the grade NA (not approved) at the ordinary exam, if the mandatory activities are not approved and the student will use an exam attempt. 
Eksamensform og -beskrivelse:X. experimental examination form (7-scale; external exam)

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.
