Process models are in the center of unifying various views enhancing organizational e fficiency. In its current state, di fferent models are produced for di fferent purposes for the same processes. This diversity results in redundancy for modeling e fforts and inconsistencies among various models. This study proposes a methodology for organizations to perform business process modeling in a way that produced models can be used both for process description and process execution. Instead of producing di fferent models for process definition and process execution, our methodology focuses on the idea that a single process model can be utilized for both purposes. Each modeling purpose has its own perspective which enables modelers to focus on relevant aspects of the model. Our method guides the modelers with the order of modeling activities as well as the produced artifacts. A multiple case-study is conducted in order to evaluate the application of the method for utilizing process models for execution and to validate the results.

Using software quality characteristics to measure business process quality Guceglioglu, AS; Demirörs, Onur (2005-01-01) Organizations frequently use product based organizational performance models to measure the effects of information system (IS) on their organizations. This paper introduces a complementary process based approach that is founded on measuring business process quality attributes. These quality attributes are defined on the basis of ISO/IEC 9126 Software Product Quality Model. The new process quality attributes are applied in an experiment and results are discussed in the paper.
A framework for reviewing domain specific conceptual models TANRIÖVER, ÖMER ÖZGÜR; Bilgen, Semih (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01) Conceptual models are used in understanding and communicating the domain of interest during analysis phase of system development. As they are used in early phases, errors and omissions may propagate to later phases and may be very costly to correct. This paper proposes a framework for evaluating conceptual models when represented in a domain specific language based on UML constructs. The framework describes the main aspects to be considered when conceptual models are represented in a domain specific languag...

A Methodology for Resolution Mapping for Cross-Resolution Simulation using Event-B Kara, Ahmet; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Alpdemir, M. Nedim (2015-11-01) This paper proposes a software engineering solution for implementing simulations via the composition of models at different resolution levels with the help of formal methods. Our solution provides a systematic methodology that offers a well-defined sequence of stages to obtain executable converters for entity resolution mapping, given the types of entity attributes that are exchanged at model interfaces and the mapping specifications. Our methodology uses Event-B as the formal specification language and Dis...
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...
