Business Processes in the Real World

While traditional information systems where dominated in general by data-driven approaches in the last decade it became obvious that business processes are equally important. Moreover the importance of effective Business Process Management (BPM) continues to rise as new economical models, globalization, further distribution and virtualization of businesses and interoperation of business activities through automated mechanisms arise.

This master seminar puts together a series of topics that tackle problems which are found in real world business processes:

• process simulations based on logs
• process abstraction
• executable process models (e.g., REST/BPMN style exec model)
• business process monitoring
• new ways of monitoring (twitter style of monitoring)
• process mining (logs, events)
• process controlling and process analysis (bottleneck analysis)
• compliance checking on the instance level
• business processes and social media (twitter, facebook, etc.)

Roundtrip Business Process Management - 21.01.2010 (invited talk)

• speaker: Dr. Jens Hündling | Senior Sales Consultant / Senior Systemberater at Oracle
• abstract: Oracle provides leading products for business process management through a pre-integrated portfolio of products that span modeling tools for business analysts, developer tools for system integration, business activity monitoring for dashboards, and user interaction for process participants.
  Oracle Business Process Analysis (BPA) Suite speeds process innovation by rapidly modeling business processes and converting them into IT executables. Oracle BPA Suite, based on ARIS Technology, delivers a comprehensive set of integrated products that allows business users to design, model, simulate, and optimize business processes. Modeling methods include BPMN and EPCs.
  The Business Process Models are than shared as blueprints with the IT to further implement the Business Process in the real life, i.e. the production environment. Execution data is gathered throughout the lifetime and could then be used for the next evolution of the Business Process Model. Throughout the session we will develop the concept and demonstrate the methods and tools using the software from the Oracle Fusion Middleware.
