Decision making in process-aware information systems involves build-time and run-time decisions. At build-time, idealized process models are designed based on the organization's objectives, infrastructure, context, constraints, etc. At run-time, this idealized view is often broken. In...

In recent years, the development of domain-specific modelling languages has gained remarkable attention. This is for good reasons: A domain-specific modelling language incorporates concepts that represent domain-level knowledge. Hence, systems analysts are not forced to reconstruct these...

An enterprise model comprises various abstractions of an enterprise that represent both information systems and the surrounding action systems. These different models are integrated in order to avoid redundant work and to contribute to a tight and consistent integration of action systems and...

Organisation models are at the core of enterprise model, since they represent key aspects of a company's action system. Within MEMO, the Organisation Modelling Language (OrgML) supports the construction of organisation models. They can be divided into two main abstractions: a static abstraction...

The automated enactment of processes through the use of workflow management systems enables the outsouring of the control flow from application systems. By now a large number of systems, that follow different workflow paradigms, are available. This leads to the problem of selecting the...

This paper presents ways for senior researchers to help future doctoral students in Operations Management (OM) to overcome multiple challenges in: (a) conducting relevant research while demonstrating greater rigor, and (b) exploring multi-disciplinary research projects while mastering a single...

Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is the cutting-edge trend in contemporary business. It is a tool, a method or practice to attain radical improvement in various dynamic environments. The main aim of development of this scale “BPR Application Scale (BPRAS)” was to study about the...

To facilitate designing and maintaining collections of business process models and corresponding implementation documents, it is of pivotal relevance to identify commonalities that a set of process types share. They allow for reusing parts of process models and are a prerequisite of efficient...
