“…Durai et al [3] have developed a specific tool for converting UML models into XML Schema Definition (XSD) format, which indicates the link between data modeling and code generation. Yongchareon et al [4] provide an in-depth analysis of the relationship between user interfaces and business processes, highlighting the potential synergy between automated code generation and business process management. In this context, Idrees et al [5] consider the potential advantages of a visual programming language when adapting the automatic code generation process to different programming languages.…”

Automated code generation and process flow management are central to web-based application development today. This database-centric approach targets the form and process management challenges faced by corporate companies. It minimizes the time losses caused by managing hundreds of forms and processes, especially in large companies. Shortening development times, optimizing user interaction, and simplifying the code are critical advantages offered by this methodology. These low-code systems accelerate development, allowing organizations to adapt to the market quickly. This approach simplifies the development process with drag-and-drop features and enables developers to produce more effective solutions with less code. Automatic code generation with flow diagrams allows one to manage inter-page interactions and processes more intuitively. The interactive Process Design Editor developed in this study makes code generation more user-friendly and accessible. The case study results show that a 98.68% improvement in development processes, a 95.84% improvement in test conditions, and a 36.01% improvement in code size were achieved with this system. In conclusion, automated code generation and process flow management represent a significant evolution in web application development processes. This methodology both shortens development times and improves code quality. In the future, the demand for these technologies is expected to increase even more.

“…In service organizations, process quality is usually managed via process KPIs, which rather reflect the performance level of activities, paying less attention to data aspects of business processes [27]. Additionally, the variability they face through either customers, service providers, suppliers, or unexpected events [7] results in less accurate business process models.…”

On Increasing Service Organizations’ Agility: An Artifact-Based Framework to Elicit Improvement Initiatives

The present research focuses on operational agility in service organizations, which are subject to variability through customers, service providers, suppliers, or unexpected events. As such, their management teams may face challenges in understanding their agility-related assets and success metrics, and furthermore in defining the scope of work for improvement initiatives. Previous research offers quite general insights into agility-related capabilities, practices, obstacles, or (agility-related) information quality evaluation. Yet, management teams need specific practices and techniques in order to improve operational agility capabilities, and thus increase their sustainable performance. We propose a conceptual framework and an artifact-centric algorithm that elicits and prioritizes improvement initiatives by (a) understanding agility-related assets by modelling operational business artifacts, (b) determining agility bottlenecks by identifying quality issues in operational artifacts, and (c) eliciting and prioritizing improvement initiatives to increase artifact quality. The framework application is discussed through a case study in a company operating in the rail freight industry, in which a set of initiatives to improve operational agility capabilities is obtained and prioritized. We conclude that the proposed algorithm is an applicable and relevant tool for management teams in service organizations, in their operational agility improvement endeavors.

“…The method does not allow for integration with hand-written code. Furthermore, there exists a variety of approaches that derive GUIs from BPMN models [3,8,19] or user iterface flow models [83]. However, these approaches either do not consider the application logic, persistence, or communication aspects of process-aware information systems.…”

Enterprise information systems created with model-driven software engineering methods need to handle not only data but also business processes in an automated way. This paper shows how to engineer process-aware information systems following the model-driven and generative software engineering paradigms. Existing approaches realize either the generation of automated or manual activities but do not employ model-driven engineering of all system aspects through systematic language composition. A generative approach that additionally uses process modeling languages allows developers to evolve generated data-centric information systems into process-aware information systems. To be usable within our generation process, we have developed a textual BPMN version and a corresponding language tooling to check the soundness of the models. We have included these process models into the generation process of an information system together with other domain-specific modeling languages, e.g., for data structures, and generate an extendable, process-aware information system that is open for continuous regeneration and hand-written additions. This approach allows us to lift a generated data-centric information system to a process-aware information system. Agile development enabled through the opportunity to validate assumptions automatically and adapt changes efficiently, enhances the engineering process as well as the generated systems themselves.
