“…For this, all information required for the task execution must be known at a specific point in time during process execution. This guarantees an optimal execution trace based on pre-defined effects, impacts, conditions, rules and events at run-time [17].…”

Abstract-Context: Organizations act in highly competitive markets, which forces them to be flexible. Constantly changing business requirements require flexible business processes. Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) supports modeling run-time flexibility of partially structured business process models, but does not fully specify the control flow. Objective: The goal is to develop a planning algorithm that supports the case worker in planning case-based business processes at run-time. Method: We identify the requirements of run-time planning of partly structured processes by analyzing the admission process for the master degree at FHNW. To plan the process instance, we develop a planning algorithm. Our planning algorithm is evaluated using concrete cases provided by FHNW in order to demonstrate real application. Results: The planning algorithm reflects the requirements for serializing tasks at run-time. Conclusion: Our planning algorithm allows to automatically deriving context-specific execution plans for CMMN models at run-time.

Context: Organizations act in a highly competitive markets, which forces them to be able to quickly adapt and optimize their processes. Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) supports modelling run-time adaptation of partially structured business process models, but does neither allow selection nor sequence of tasks. Objective: Our goal is to develop an approach that computes sequences of tasks such that a context-specific goal is satisfied. We apply the SMA* algorithm to support run-time planning of partly structured parts of a business process in order to find an appropriate sequence of tasks. Method: We perform a literature review in order to derive the most suitable heuristic search algorithm. To support the selection and specification of tasks, we extend the CMMN metamodel. A running example is presented to show practical applicability of the approach. Results: The extension of the CMMN metamodel reflects the requirements for serializing tasks at run-time. Furthermore, we modified the SMA* algorithm and defined a heuristic function. Conclusion: Our approach allows to automatically derive execution plans for partly structured business processes depending on the context.

“…There are few proposals that support cloud services for CBPs [20][21][22]. These proposals have still important shortcomings for collaborative networks: (1) they provide a centralized approach for CBPs, been their execution driven by one organization, and they do not deal with autonomy and privacy issues; and (2) they just offer SaaS models to execute processes as services, but dynamic and agile collaborative networks also require a PaaS model for implementing PAISs on-demand -when organizations agree on managing a new CBP-or creating a new version of a CBP because they want to improve it.…”

Abstract-With the wide adoption of the Internet, organizations establish collaborative networks to execute Collaborative Business Processes (CBPs). Current approaches of Process-Aware Information Systems (PAISs) to implement and execute CBPs have shortcomings: high costs and complexity of IT infrastructure to deploy the PAISs; poor support for autonomy, decentralization, global view of message exchange and peer-to-peer interactions; and rigid platforms for generating and deploying PAISs on-demand according with the CBPs agreed in collaborative networks. To overcome these issues, this work proposes a cloud-based platform for the management of CBPs. The platform provides cloud services that enable the generation and deployment on-demand of the PAISs required to implement the agreed CBPs, as well as the execution on-demand of CBPs by fulfilling the abovementioned issues. To deal with privacy issues, the platform can be deployed in private clouds. Elasticity is provided at the level of process instances and portability is also achieved.
