“…Australasian Journal of Information Systems Thuan et al 2022, Vol 26, Research Article Using Process Stories respond with certain activities to specific events. A variety of solutions have been proposed to increase the capacity to deal with changes in a structured way (Hidri, M'tir, Saoud, & Ghedira-Guegan, 2019;Reichert & Weber, 2012). Examples include adding exceptions and deviations to process models (Hallerbach, Bauer, & Reichert, 2010;Marcinkowski & Gawin, 2019).…”

Process flexibility is essential for organizations coping with uncertainty, emergence, and change. In this study, we research how process stories may lessen friction in realizing flexible processes. We use friction as a metaphor, which characterizes the realization of flexible processes as handling two opposing forces: one pushes towards flexibility while the other pulls against flexibility. Using in-depth interviews with BPM experts as a data-gathering technique, we provide insights into the dynamics of friction in the BPM lifecycle. We also provide empirical evidence about the capability of process stories to lessen friction in realizing flexible processes. This research contributes to understand the context where process stories may be most fit to realize process flexibility and adds knowledge about practical complaints experienced by BPM experts when realizing process flexibility.

“…According to the agent‐oriented software engineering paradigm, Kir & Erdogan, 2020) proposed the functional business process management framework agileBPM, which enables the business process to semantically capture the business knowledge, rules, objectives, enterprise environment, and adapt to the abnormal behaviours. (Wafa et al, 2019) designed the meta‐model to handle the process evolution and service combinations. To better support process evolution in the modelling stage, (Schuh et al, 2017) proposed an approach that supports modular platform design with the consideration of change propagation.…”

Software business process adaptive approach supporting organization architecture evolution

Software maintenance and evolution play an important role in the software engineering field, especially when current software becomes more and more complex and powerful. As an entity to implement business processes and gain revenue, valuable software is composed of business logic and corresponding organization role interaction interfaces. With the enterprise development, the organization architecture also evolves, like expanding, cross department cooperation, and so on. However, existing software process adaptive approaches mainly focus on handling the change of the business (program) logic instead of organization structure. Therefore, we propose an adaptive software business process approach that supports organization architecture evolution and automatically migrates the run‐time process instances to the latest version. First, a business process adaptation model is designed, which includes the organization layer, business process layer and event layer that connects the two. Based on the model, the organization changing impact and business process model modification are formalized. Besides, the business process adaptation approach is designed. According to the dependence between the organization architecture and the business process activities, the affected domain detection algorithms for three basic business process structures and the business process instance migration algorithm are developed. Finally, the feasibility and stability of the proposed system are comprehensively evaluated with the synthetic data sets.
