Abstract. We describe a formally well founded approach to link data and processes conceptually, based on adopting UML class diagrams to represent data, and BPMN to represent the process. The UML class diagram together with a set of additional process variables, called Artifact, form the information model of the process. All activities of the BPMN process refer to such an information model by means of OCL operation contracts. We show that the resulting semantics while abstract is fully executable. We also provide an implementation of the executor.

Abstract. As service design has gained interest in the last years, so has gained one of its primary tools: the Service Blueprint. In essence, a service blueprint is a graphical tool for the design of business models, specifically for the design of business service operations. Despite its level of adoption, tool support for service design tasks is still on its early days and available tools for service blueprint modeling are mainly focused on enhancing usability and enabling collaborative edition, disregarding the formal aspects of modeling. In this paper we present a way to support the validation of service blueprint models by simulation. This approach is based on annotating the models with formal semantics, so that each task can be translated into formal logics, and from them, to executable SQL statements. This works opens a new direction in the way to bridge formal techniques and creative service design processes.

“…El proceso de automatización de procesos de negocio involucra a los estrategas de negocio (Scheer y Brabänder, 2010); a los especialistas de tecnologías de información, quienes son los stakeholders de la automatización de procesos de negocio; y a los analistas de negocio (Fabra et al, 2012). El proceso de automatización de procesos de negocio requiere un control de inicio a fin; es decir, una integración horizontal (Vernadat, 1996).…”

“…La transformación automática de los modelos de procesos de negocio es muy importante, porque permite mejorar la comunicación entre los estrategas de negocio, analistas de negocio y especialistas de tecnologías de información (stakeholders de automatización de procesos de negocio), lo que trae como consecuencia la reducción de riesgos de errores en la especificación de los modelos de procesos, y también evita la duplicidad de esfuerzos de los stakeholders de procesos de negocio para realizar los modelos de procesos de negocio (Fabra et al, 2012) (Heininger, 2012) (Duarte et al, 2012) (Santos et al, 2013). La tendencia de la aplicación de la arquitectura conducidos por modelos es para las actividades de diseño e implementación con modelos BPMN y BPEL, respectivamente.…”

BPI Center. Lima, PerúResumen Las empresas enfrentan el desafío de colocar un producto o servicio antes que su competencia, y necesitan responder a los requerimientos de sus clientes; por estos motivos, su estructura organizacional está orientándose a una optimización de los procesos de negocio. Se requiere que estos sean ágiles para responder al entorno empresarial, es decir, a los requerimientos del cliente, así como a las nuevas disposiciones legales y a las estrategias del negocio. La automatización de procesos de negocio contribuye significativamente con la agilidad de estos procesos. El presente artículo tiene el propósito de clasificar los métodos utilizados para la automatización de procesos de negocio. La revisión literaria utilizó como referencia artículos relacionados con este tema. Por tanto, se buscaron artículos en Scopus, Google Scholar y Springer. El proceso de revisión se realizó en dos etapas: en la primera los artículos encontrados se filtraron sobre la base de la lectura de los títulos, resúmenes y palabras claves; y en la segunda se seleccionaron los artículos en base a la lectura completa de los artículos filtrados. Palabras clave: gestión de procesos de negocio (BPM) / sistema de gestión de reglas de negocio (BRMS) / arquitectura dirigida por modelos (MDA) Abstract Systematic review of the automation of business processes' literatureCompanies face the challenge of placing a product or service before their competition, and need to respond to their customers' requirements. For these reasons, its organizational structure is being oriented to an optimization of the business processes. They are required to be agile to respond to the business environment, i.e., customer requirements, as well as new legal provisions and business strategies. The automation of business processes contributes significantly with the agility of these processes. The purpose of this article is to classify the methods used for the automation of business processes. The literary review used articles related to this topic as reference. Therefore, articles were searched in Scopus, Google Scholar and Springer. The review process was carried out in two stages: first, the articles found were filtered based on the reading of the titles, abstracts and keywords; second, articles were selected based on the complete reading of the filtered articles.Keywords: business process management (BPM) / business rule management system (BRMS) / model driven architecture (MDA)
