ALGORITHM AND SOFTWARE TO ASSESSS THE COMPLIANCE OF BUSINESS PROCESS MODELS WITH THEIR TEXTUAL DESCRIPTIONS

This paper is devoted to solve the problem of analyzing the compliance of business process models with their textual descriptions. The problem being business process models describe re-designed or completely new organizational activities, but “wrong” models that do not reflect correctly business process requirements may mislead involved business process participants and other stakeholders, and cause workflow errors followed by extra costs. Therefore, the research goal is to ensure the correctness of business process models by analyzing their compliance with textual descriptions formulated by business process owners or business analysts. In the work, a review of existing tools for modeling and analysis of business processes is outlined, as well as the main technologies of natural language processing are considered, including tokenization, search for stop words, and stemming. These technologies are proposed to be used to analyze the compliance of business process models with their textual descriptions. An approach to solving the problem of analyzing the compliance of business process models with their textual descriptions, using the selected natural language processing tools is proposed and the respective algorithm is developed. The process of analyzing the compliance of business process models with their textual descriptions is formalized using data flow modeling. The corresponding software that implements this process is developed. Sample calculations are demonstrated that confirm the performance of the proposed approach by analyzing the model of the goods dispatch business process and the corresponding textual description of this business process. Finally, conclusions are given and the directions for further work are determined.

Enterprise Architecture for Payment System Industry in Industrial Era 4.0

Today online payments are in demand by most people. Because of the practicality of making payments digitally. This phenomenon has encouraged many industries in the field of finance to make breakthroughs in technology to develop marketing through platforms that have been built. Of course, the platform that is built is a platform that is following the business process requirements of the company. Business processes in the finance industry have become a digital payment platform, making companies in the finance sector carry out digital transformations. Processes that have been carried out manually have been replaced with digital and online processes that bring many opportunities to the finance industry. At the same time creating market opportunities for the company. Thus creating a very broad market for companies carrying out digital transformation. Communities benefit from the changes made by the company. The benefit is that people do not need to make payments or transfer funds. No need to queue up payments at the bank or payment counters. By simply clicking on the smartphone, the payment can go directly to the intended account. This revolution in digital finance transformation has both positive and negative impacts. Positive impacts such as the ease of transferring funds, and negative impacts if the company does not carry out protection or cyber security will have an impact on the company and the user community. Therefore, finance companies must protect or secure data while using the payment platform. A lot of education is done for the people who use the payment platform, where the platform must always update the version. For this reason, payment platform provider companies must be able to make continuous changes. Continuous improvement and continuous development make it a must for payment system service operator companies. Related to the description above, payment system companies must implement Enterprise Architecture for the benefit of the company. The result of Enterprise Architecture is a blueprint of all company production components or an Information Technology Blueprint. This is the goal of research on payment systems for companies carrying out digital transformation

A decision framework for cloud migration: A hybrid approach

Cloud computing is utilised for information technology outsourcing of either industries or organisations. There are several inhibitors and motivations related factors to determine whether one can embrace the cloud services or not. Therefore, this paper presents a holistic and flexible cloud decision framework by taking a wide spectrum weighted factors related to the acceptance or denial of the cloud services. To have sustainable decision and obviating the shortcomings of the existing approaches on the cloud service adoption, a deep understanding of organisation's business process requirements and cost implications is required. To utilise the proposed model, the functional and non-functional requirements associated to the business process of an adopter organisation must be specified. To reach a concrete decision, a hybrid approach is applied by incorporating the analytic hierarchy process and Delphi methods to prevent subjective outcomes and to have diverse experiences at the same time. To support the decision model, some economic theories and Moore law are used. To verify the proposed model, a Telecommunication Company is considered as a case study for its 6-year plan of investment. The simulation results of conducted scenarios for the mentioned mid-scale case study prove that it is logical to establish on-premises a private datacenter and utilising the hybrid deployment once it encounters abrupt burst of resource demand. Altogether, the proposed holistic model can be customised for different users with different scales.

Towards an Interdisciplinary Development of IoT-Enhanced Business Processes

IoT-enhanced Business Processes make use of sensors and actuators to carry out the process tasks and achieve a specific goal. One of the most important difficulties in the development of IoT-enhanced BPs is the interdisciplinarity that is demanded by this type of project. Defining an interdisciplinary tool-supported development approach that facilitates the collaboration of different professionals, with a special focus on three main facets: business process requirements, interoperability between IoT devices and BPs, and low-level data processing. The study followed a Design Science Research methodology for information systems that consists of a 6-step process: (1) problem identification and motivation; (2) define the objectives for a solution; (3) design and development; (4) demonstration; (5) evaluation; and (6) communication.

In the system development, the visual logic configuration mode replaces the engineering customization mode of conventional manual software coding, which greatly improves the engineering adaptability of multi-state large power grid simulation business requirements.

Legal status of business partnerships under the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation

The progress of market relations without fail requires a theoretical understanding of the various legal forms of doing business, where special attention is given to business partnerships. In world practice, such enterprises are successfully used for small and medium-sized businesses. At the present stage, this legal form is used to create short-term joint ventures, especially for the implementation of short-term investment projects. The issues of the legal status of business partnerships as a factor of sustainable development are traditionally widely covered in civil law, at the same time, the legal status of business partnerships of the Republic of Kazakh-stan and the Russian Federation should be given more attention in the context of the realities of today's innovative processes and reforming national legislation. The research using approbation of a set of scientific methods made it possible to reveal legal approaches to the study of business partnerships, to analyse the relevant cur-rent legislative framework, to assess its effectiveness and compliance with the re-quirements of updated business processes. The article substantiates that business partnerships are the most accessible legal form of doing business in many coun-tries, while also remaining the prevailing form in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. In turn, it was stated that the legislation of the Russian Federation is only on the way of its comprehensive reform in the field of legal regulation of the position of business partnerships (general and lim-ited partnerships), which requires a balanced development and adoption of a sin-gle federal normative legal act.

TRANSFORMATION OF FOOD SYSTEMS: UKRAINIAN CONTEXT

The article considers the essence of the concept of "food system", which characterizes all activities related to the production, processing, transportation and consumption of food. Food systems affect every aspect of human existence and therefore cannot be limited to the agricultural sector, but affect our personal health, our families and communities, as well as the health of the environment, our economy and our culture. The involvement of society in the formation of proposals for vectors of food systems in Ukraine in the context of global trends in the national dialogue on food transformation and preparation for the UN Summit on Food Systems 2021 is justified. The interrelation of food systems and all seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, which should be taken into account in the balanced food system of Ukraine, which needs to preserve and increase its food potential in the light of global trends, is revealed. Innovative approaches to the transformation of food systems are proposed. First of all, it concerns such priority areas as healthy nutrition, introduction of environmentally friendly production technologies and resilience to market instability and availability of food for all. The key directions and specific proposals for measures highlighted in the draft Roadmap are considered, namely: increasing attention to digitalization of processes in the agricultural sector, the formation of the State Agrarian Register as a tool to ensure transparency in certain mechanisms of agricultural policy and others. Attention is paid to the need to comply with the established requirements for business processes and food safety, awareness of producers, especially in conditions where the responsibility for product safety is put on the manufacturer. A model of HoReCa recovery after the pandemic by involving small producers and the development of craft technologies is proposed. The need for a balanced approach to the adaptation of the European Green Course for Ukraine, in particular on energy efficiency and sustainable resource management. Key words: food system; transformation; Ukrainian context; healthy food, national dialogue, road map.

Метод формирования регулярной обратной информационно-технологической связи в автоматизированных системах управления бизнес-процессами предприятия

Given the multifaceted nature of the concept of business process, we will limit ourselves to defining business process as a set of interrelated activities or works aimed at creating a certain product or service for customers. From the perspective of the BPM concept, business processes are valuable resources of an enterprise and their management is part of the system of organizational activities, i.e. the organizational system of automated enterprise business process management. Research Objective. Automation, then, is also a business process whose objectives are: the development (acquisition), implementation and operation of software and hardware designed to implement new business process capabilities (which simply were not in the manual loop), optimize and increase the speed of the existing business process, improve working conditions, reduce labor requirements, etc. There is a new direction – computer integration of information. Materials and methods. It is suggested that monitoring deviations from business process requirements be used to organise regular information-technology feedback in the of automated business process management systems of an enterprise. Results. Automation of a business process endows a business process with a new feature – the abi-lity to obtain operational data on all prescribed activities and to integrate all interacting objects of the business process in the implementation of the prescribed set of target functions. In some cases, business process automation is performed to streamline IT-related activities inside the organization. This includes the management of internal resources of the organization – financial, material, human resources, etc. Conclusion. Due to the presence of a sufficiently large number of “legacy systems”, the constantly increasing dynamics of changes in the external environment and the business proces-ses themselves, the task of ensuring the correctness of systems functioning in the absence of the current information model and the current documentation of the automated system seems relevant.

Assessment of the current state of the use of non-monetary methods of state regulation of financial recovery of banks

The object of research is the processes of state regulation of financial recovery of banks by non-monetary methods. One of the most problematic areas is determining the practical aspects of regulating the financial recovery of banks by non-monetary methods, which include: – establishment of mandatory requirements for banking services and business processes; – carrying out checks and taking measures in the event of a violation; – establishment of methods of organizing or conducting banking activities in the process of financial recovery; – licensing rules. An important aspect is the identification of factors that exacerbate the problems of the banking system, in particular, lead to large-scale lending to related parties; opaque ownership structure; inaccurate financial statements; fictitious accounts in foreign banks; money laundering and the like. Improvement of state regulation of financial recovery of banks through the use of preventive measures is possible with the effective use of non-monetary methods of such regulation. The study used methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, methods of systematization and comparison, tabular and graphical methods. The composition of monetary instruments and their features have been determined. The proposed measures for non-monetary regulation of financial recovery of banks are related to: – improving the procedure for disclosing information on the ultimate owners of the bank; – strengthening the responsibility of banks for the results of their activities; – improving the mechanisms for minimizing credit risks for banks both at the stage of issuing a loan and at the stage of its servicing; – improving the procedure for financial restructuring of problem assets of banks; – set of recreational measures to restore the bank’s solvency, prevent bankruptcy or increase its competitiveness. The use of non-monetary methods of financial recovery and the introduction of the requirements of European legislation into national banking practice testifies to the improvement of state regulation of financial recovery of banks, protects them from insolvency and ensures development.

Formal techniques for consistency checking of orchestrations of semantic Web services

Web service orchestrations aim at offering value-added services that meet the increasing complex requirements of business processes. Since it becomes harder to manually check the correctness of such systems, we propose a formal method for their consistency checking by first translating OWL-S composite services and WS-BPEL orchestrator into communicating automata using an iterative process driven by control structures of these languages. Thereafter, we build the synchronization product of the resulting automata and proceed to its compatibility checking in order to unveil forbidden states, which depict incompatibilities in that orchestration interaction protocol. Last, this automaton consistency is checked against the behavioral model of WS-CDL choreography seen as its specification to which it has to conform.

Using the Collaborative Requirements Development Methodology to Build Laboratory Capacity for Timely Diagnosis During the Zika Epidemic in Puerto Rico.

In 2016, Puerto Rico became the focal point of the Zika epidemic, with more than 36 000 laboratory-confirmed cases before August. The Puerto Rico Department of Health (PRDH) responded by providing tests to symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women. The increased demand for Zika testing placed unprecedented strain on the laboratory capacity and information management processes used within the PRDH. The PRDH recognized the need to have an updated informatics system that securely manages, stores, and transmits digital data. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded the Public Health Informatics Institute to collaborate with the PRDH to assess and improve the informatics capability to respond to the ongoing Zika virus transmission in Puerto Rico. The team employed a 4-component approach to assess the informatics system and improve the information management processes for laboratory testing and reporting of arboviral diseases (Zika, chikungunya, and dengue). The method consisted of a (1) needs assessment, (2) business process analysis and requirements definition, (3) vendor analysis, and (4) solution implementation. The needs assessment determined that the PRDH's procedures for arbovirus testing and reporting were highly complex and paper-based and thus did not maximize the use of existing technology. The solution was to build a Web portal. The business process analysis yielded information to create a map of the flow of specimens, an arbovirus context diagram, and more than 200 requirements. The requirements identified in this process guided the design and creation of the Web portal. This report describes the process to build a Web portal to enhance laboratory testing and electronic reporting of Zika cases during the 2016 epidemic in Puerto Rico. We demonstrate the utility of applying the Collaborative Requirements Development Methodology, a proven informatics method, to the development of a Web portal for managing arboviruses in a health department.

Business Process Execution From the Alignment Between Business Processes and Web Services: A Semantic and Model-Driven Modernization Process

Many companies have implemented their business processes in Web applications which must be frequently adapted so as to stay aligned with new business process requirements. Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) constitute an appropriate option to manage the continuous changes in those processes by facilitating their alignment with the changing underlying system services. In this context, firms are trying to migrate their Web applications to new software architectures such as SOAs. However, this migration is usually carried out ad-hoc by means of non-reusable and error-prone manual processes. Similarly, the alignment between the business processes and the underlying services identified is usually done by hand. This work presents a model-driven semiautomatic approach to modernize legacy Web applications to SOAs. The approach is focused on an automatic semantic process aimed at discovering the services that can be used to implement the business processes (defined by the companies), then aligning these processes with the underlying services. A semantic algorithm is provided to aid the migration architect during the alignment process. The case study carried out shows that the alignment process results obtained by the semantic algorithm presented in this paper are similar to those obtained by the experts manually. Finally, SOA orchestration artifacts are generated from the semantic algorithm results.

Adapting TOGAF ADM to the Development and Implementation of Architectural Solutions in FMCG Chain Retailing

The presented study adapts the TOGAF Architecture Development Method (ADM) to the development and implementation of architectural solutions in FMCG chain retailing.Aim. The study aims to adapt TOGAF ADM to the development and implementation of architectural solutions in FMCG chain retailing.Tasks. The authors formulate a definition of FMCG chain retailing architecture, determine the detail levels of architectural solutions, develop a basic architecture model, and examine the transition from the basic towards the target architecture. Building an efficient architectural solution for FMCG chain retailing enterprises using ADM requires creating a functional model and identifying groups of architectural areas for consistent architecture construction.Methods. The architecture of FMCG chain retailing is an efficient planning tool that combines the IT architecture of chain retailing with business architecture and makes it possible to achieve the strategic objectives of chain retailing. By developing an architectural solution, it becomes possible to determine business structure, systematize information for efficient business operations, build a map of the company’s business processes, and identify appropriate technologies to support these processes. The preliminary phase of building an architecture begins with the development of the business concept of a chain retailing company based on a business model. Starting with the preliminary phase, the working group launches an architecture project, goes through all the phases from the first stage to the last, and then launches the next project.Results. ADM TOGAF does not necessarily involve planning methods, which is why the result largely depends on the opinion of the working group. During TOGAF ADM activity, particular attention should be paid to the analysis of factors that affect the implementation and planned changes. Architecture blocks and architecture roadmap are two important elements of the development process. After analyzing the differences between the basic and the target architecture models (gap analysis), it is necessary to identify transient, excludable, and input architecture blocks, set and harmonize similar requirements for similar business processes, specify risks, and develop a strategy for the implementation of the target architecture. When making decisions, special attention should be paid to the priority of the chosen architectural solutions, formation of transit architectures (if necessary), and development of a plan for the implementation of the architectural roadmap in FMCG chain retailing.Conclusions. In the context of reengineering business processes of chain retailing companies, the most solid basis for building architectural solutions using ADM would be the company’s functional model. The proposed ADM adaptation on the basis of the functional model significantly increases the effi-ciency of development and management of architecture development for FMCG chain retailing companies.
