“…A subject-oriented-or resource-based-modeling language for business processes is S-BPM [28] [29], which is discussed later. As the modeling language is based on process-calculus, it can be easily defined via an ASM ground model [28], and models can be executed on a corresponding ASM interpreter [30].…”

This work presents a fully elaborated ontology, defined via the Ontology Web Language (OWL), of the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard to define business process models, and we demonstrate that any BPMN model can be serialized as OWL file. Based on ontological analysis and a corresponding definition of a modeling notation as ontology we show that business process models can be transformed from one notation into another one as long as there are common underlying concepts; this is demonstrated with the case of an actor based, or subject-oriented, view on business processes. Furthermore, a reference architecture for Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) based on microservices is discussed which is capable of executing actor based business process models. As a transformation of BPMN models into the actor based view is generally possible, also BPMN models could be enacted. As a result, we can conclude that the actor system is a promising way to stimulate new ways to design workflow management systems and to design business process modeling languages which are more comfortable to use by non-experts without losing necessary expressiveness. Another result is that an ontology is a productive way to define a modeling notation as it can be used as knowledge base, it is a formal conceptualization of the underlying notions, and can be semantically enriched for further use.

“…Processes are hosted on an instance of the Workflow Manager (WFM), which is responsible for the hosting, administration and configuration of the subjects based on scopes, such as a Company Scope (1), Process Scopes (2) and a Management Scope (3). Each company has its own Process Store (4) and Subject Store (5); the same for Message Store (6) and Task Store (7). Each company has Task Handler (9) instances to generate new tasks and each process has Message Handler (8) instances to manage message exchange.…”

Abstract. We discuss a fully featured multienterprise business process plattform (ME-BPP) based on the concepts of agent-based business processes. Using the concepts of the subject-oriented business process (S-BPM) methodology we developed an architecture to realize a platform for the execution of distributed business processes. The platform is implemented based on cloud technology using commercial services. For our discussion we used the well known Service Interaction Patterns, as they are empirically developed from typical business-to-business interactions. We can demonstrate that all patterns can be easily modeled and executed based on our architecture.

Designing Digital Work

This chapter offers a synthesis of the conceptual and methodological considerations of the previously presented frameworks and instruments. It adjusts the methodological concepts for eliciting, representing, and processing work knowledge for practical use. Based on elementary modeling constructs we provide a unifying framework that guides the design of organizational interventions when enabling the emergence of novel digital workplace designs and work practices. According to the architecture, support systems for organizational learning enable augmenting processes with work-relevant knowledge, including the execution of specified behavior representations. Overall goal is developing consensually shared workflow designs—developed for and by the actual set of people executing a workflow. The structured procedure allows a generalized architecture based on a common organizational memory and dedicated components for articulation, informed alignment through organizational learning support, and process prototyping.
