“…There is no repair plan by which the identified inconsistency can be resolved. Weidmann et al 42,43 propose a synchronization method to align changed process models with IT. The changes are propagated based on model correspondences between models at different abstraction levels, using a change queue.…”

In large organizations, multiple stakeholders may modify the same business process. This paper addresses the problem when stakeholders perform changes on process views which become inconsistent with the business process and other views. Related work addressing this problem is based on execution trace analysis which is performed in a post-analysis phase and can be complex when dealing with large business process models. In this paper, we propose a design-based approach that can efficiently check consistency criteria and propagate changes on-the-fly from a process view to its reference process and related process views. The technique is based on consistent specialization of business processes and supports the control flow aspect of processes. Consistency checks can be performed during the design time by checking simple rules which support an efficient change propagation between views and reference process.

“…Regarding model transformations there are many works for state and node reduction through application of special graph transformation rules. Some of this works facilitate analysis of process model soundness (van Dongen, Jansen-Vullers, Verbeek, & van der Aalst, 2007), others are focused on change propagation (Weidmann et al, 2011) and cross-organizational interoperability (Liu & Shen, 2004). None of these works takes into account a cost model associated with the transformation.…”

The challenge of service distribution has been considered in the fields of cross-organizational interoperability, grid computing and task delegation but little addressed for cross-zone application deployment in Cloud Computing. This paper proposes a process model transformation technique based on activity aggregation to efficiently distribute services for the Web of Data between various Cloud availability zones. The authors propose a workflow decomposition method based on SPQR fragments and the definition of an efficient service distribution algorithm according to a defined cost model. This cost model considers not only the transmission of information between activities for data and control scopes but also the cost of activity execution in different regions. Finally the authors validate their method by providing a tool that introduces the distribution information into the workflow, applying their distribution algorithm in a use case and describing the transformation process to distributed BPEL code that can be easily deployed to back-end instances.

After a long journey full of joys, disappointments, surprises and effort, I present this thesis work. Although the completion of my PhD studies has been the main priority these five years, it has not always been possible to dedicate sufficient time. Yet I am very satisfied with the work done and I want to express my sincere gratitude to the people without whom the completion of this work would not have been possible.First of all, I thank my advisor, Tomás Robles, for leading me through this adventure, giving me his guidance and advice, as well as bringing me courage and hopes with the results. Tomás always says that "the PhD is a long distance race, and it is oneself who has to push". However, he has helped me stay strong throughout the race, thanks to his confidence and experience.I also thank the members of my research group GISAI, from the Department of Telematics Engineering, for sharing concerns, laughs, and ideas and for working together in the same direction. Special thanks to Augusto, Sergio, Diego, Edwin and Héctor, without overlooking Angelines Villar, for all the paperwork she helped me doing, from the department secretary, always with patience and kindness.Well-deserved thanks to all the teachers I've had the pleasure to work with during this period, Carlos Ángel and Mercedes, as well as teachers from other schools who have given me their trust, Miguel Ángel Manso and Manolo Cortijo.Of course, I must acknowledge the push and support of all my friends over the last few years, with which Iʹve shared long afternoons and evenings playing Catán, Party and all the Just Dance games ever published.Finally, I dedicate this thesis to my family. To my parents Ramón and Rosa, for their unconditional support, help and sacrifice throughout my life, especially the student one, and to my brother Andrés, for his advice and good company. I cannot help but express my sincere thanks to my princess, for her patience, trust and her great devotion and love.Madrid, November 2013 vi vii AgradecimientosTras un largo camino lleno de alegrías, decepciones, sorpresas y esfuerzo, presento este proyecto de tesis.
