Business Process Model for IOT Based Systems Operations

Abstract

The internet of things (IoT) is an innovative and advanced high-level IT development that provides the connection between a large network of devices equipped with numerous computing capabilities, actuation, and sensing with the help of internet connection, consequently providing multifarious novel services regarding smart systems. All around the globe the attractive big data analytics and IoT services are allowing initiatives regarding smart systems. Business processes are commonly executed inside the application systems where computers, objects of IoT as well as humans participate. However, for the system-supported processes, the use of IoT technology is still facing the problem of the absence of a standard system architecture that is essential to manage the coordination in a smart IoT environment. Business process management (BPM) is regarded as a substantial technique for designing, controlling, and improving the processes of a system. This article introduces a BPM modeling approach for IoT-based systems operation exploits IoT using BPM by adopting an IoT framework architecture and considering IoT data for interaction in a defined process model. The methodology has been carried out on top of current BPM modeling notions and system techniques for formal representations of the system and also to get through the challenges of collaboration and connection.
