Abstract
Business process is a sequence of events and tasks that encompass actions and people. Therefore, a company that pays much attention to its business processes has to clearly identify and define the procedures of their relations. However, with the exponential evolution in ubiquitous computing, the exploitation of information spread all over different devices has become essential to further improve business processes. Hence, in this paper we present a new approach for business process modeling that is based on context-awareness and ontology. We propose a set of meta-model for the elements that we find very important, taking into account the context and, in modeling, the business process. To validate our approach, we propose a concrete case study about transport system to provide a proof of the applicability as well as the utility of the model.
Highlights
Companies are known by their constant search for competitive advantages in order to create new business opportunities and gain new areas of markets
Several approaches have been proposed to standardize the Context Modeling: [12][13] model the context as keys/value or each key defines the contextual information so the value presents its value, [14][15][16]are based on mark-up language, it is a more structured approach that presents information in a hierarchical structure, [17]presents the context in an objectoriented way, so the contextual information is encapsulated in an object in order to model it in a ubiquitous computing,[18] model is based on MDA, it allows for a model that is based on MOF (Meta-model facility) and[19][20] use ontology to model contextual information in a declaration form, so it allows for a semantic reasoning in these information
In this article we have presented a new approach to model the context and the business process
Summary
Companies are known by their constant search for competitive advantages in order to create new business opportunities and gain new areas of markets They are permanently in need to perform digital transitions and continuous improvements which can only be achieved through implementing technology. Several researchers have proposed approaches for business process modelling. It displays new trends in ICT and the ubiquitous computing. Several research questions remain to be addressed This is due to a series of reasons, in particular the modeling of contextual information and the consideration of context in the business processes modelling. The rest of this paper is organized as follows: We start with a background and related works where we present some definitions and the state of the art on the BP modeling and the context. In section four we give a simple conclusion and a vision of our future work
