Facilitating flexibility in interorganisational processes: a conceptual model
DOI: 10.1504/IJBPIM.2008.019343 | Johny Ghattas, Pnina Soffer | Collaboration and coordination between the organisations are necessary in today|s business environment, and are enabled by interorganisational business processes. However, shared interorganisational processes may pose additional constraints... | 5 - 14 |
Controlling business process instance flexibility via rules of planning
DOI: 10.1504/IJBPIM.2008.019343 | Ilia Bider, Alexey Striy | The way of imposing a given level of flexibility in business processes depends on the means employed for controlling business processes. When a Business Process Support (BPS) system is used, the flexibility limits can be incorporated in it.... | 15 - 25 |
Using soft constraints to guide users in flexible business process management systems
DOI: 10.1504/IJBPIM.2008.019343 | Christian Stefansen, Signe Ellegard Borch | Current Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) allow designers to specify processes in highly expressive languages supporting numerous control flow constructs, exceptions, complex predicates, etc., but process specifications are express... | 26 - 35 |
Business process flexibility through the exploration of stimuli
DOI: 10.1504/IJBPIM.2008.019343 | Murali Mohan Narasipuram, Gil Regev, Kuldeep Kumar, Alain Wegmann | For organisations to survive and flourish in a changing environment, their business processes need to be flexible. Ashby|s law of requisite variety applied to business processes postulates that a robust process needs to exhibit as much as v... | 36 - 46 |
Contextualisation of business processes
DOI: 10.1504/IJBPIM.2008.019343 | Michael Rosemann, Jan Recker, Christian Flender | Flexibility has emerged as an important requirement in the design of business processes. Research on process flexibility, however, has traditionally been focused on the intrinsic capability of a process to adapt to a new environment (e.g. w... | 47 - 60 |
Using process mining to learn from process changes in evolutionary systems
DOI: 10.1504/IJBPIM.2008.019343 | Christian W. Gunther, Stefanie Rinderle-Ma, Manfred Reichert, Wil M.P. Van Der Aalst, Jan Recker | Traditional information systems struggle with the requirement to provide flexibility and process support while still enforcing some degree of control. Accordingly, adaptive Process Management Systems (PMSs) have emerged that provide some fl... | 61 - 78 |
