Process Models for the core-competency processes of enterprises are represented in task systems. For a virtual enterprise that is formed by an integration of the individual organizations' processes over the Internet, the preservation of some attributes is investigated. With the aid of task systems as a formalism that is borrowed from the operating systems theory, processes and attributes are modeled. The anticipated utilization is in the form of a tool that will aid the formation of virtual enterprises over the Internet. All the participating organizations should contribute by providing what they are best at; their core competencies offered in the form of a process model. The value-add-chains can be formed by locating and iiiintegrating component-processes to a combined process-model for the production of the final delivery (service or product). Besides offering a verification tool, formal representation of the individual processes and the integrated process, preservation of some process attributes can be investigated by such representation. The selected process attributes in this dissertation are efficiency, repeatability, manageability, and unprovability. These attributes are mapped to low- level task features such as determinacy, deadlocks, mutual exclusion, and unprovability. Some features can directly contribute to the preservation analysis for high-level process attributes, and some others are subject to a prescribed method as an indirect investigation. The above mentioned representation and attribute investigation are applied to a case study. Results are explained by real-world consequences of the attributes and process integration. The case study comprises realistic process models, integrated virtually for the dissertation

Process Maintenance through Component-Process Replacement Manzer, Ayesha; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2006-03-01) An enterprise is represented by its process model that is constructed by the integration of smaller processes corresponding to value-added contributors. Replacing the sub-processes can modify the super-process. Component processes are represented in task systems in order to discover how process attributes will be preserved after integration. This approach is especially versatile if virtual enterprises are formed over the Internet through integrating the published processes of core competencies. The virtuall...
Dynamic Scoring-Based Sequence Alignment for Process Diagnostics Esgin, Eren; Karagöz, Pınar (2015-06-12) Even though process-aware information systems are intensively utilized in the organizations, traditional process management paradigms majorly concentrate on the design and configuration phases. Instead of starting with a process design, process mining attempts to discover interesting patterns from process enactment namely event logs and extract business processes by distilling these event logs as knowledge base. One of the challenging issues in process mining domain is process diagnostics, which is complex ...
Unified Process Modeling with UPROM Tool Aysolmaz, Banu; Demirörs, Onur (2014-06-20) UPROM tool is a business process modeling tool designed to conduct business process and user requirements analysis in an integrated way to constitute a basis for process automation. Usually, business process models are not utilized systematically to develop related artifacts, specifically when a process-aware information system is to be developed to automate those processes. This results in completeness, consistency and maintainability problems for those artifacts. Unified business process modeling methodol...
Metamodeling of Reference Software Architecture and Automatic Code Generation Turhan, Nafiye Kubra; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2016-12-02) Architectures of all application software that are developed by Sea Defense Systems Software Team in ASELSAN are created based on a predefined reference software architecture. In order to facilitate the process of transition from the software architectural design, which is created in conformance with the reference software architecture, to implementation a model driven software development approach is put forth. In this approach, based on a metamodel for the predefined reference software architecture, a dom...
An approach for decentralized process modeling Turetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur (2007-05-20) This paper describes a method for organizations to perform process modeling in a decentralized and concurrent manner. The approach is based on the idea that modeling organizations' processes can be performed by individuals actually performing the processes. Instead of having a central and devoted group of people to analyze, understand, model and improve processes, real performers are held responsible to model and improve their own processes concurrently. The paper also summarizes the lessons learned by appl...
