The information captured in business process models can be utilized for many artifacts in the organizations. However, relations between the models and related artifacts are usually either not established or only partially formed. This results in increased effort, consistency, completeness and maintainability problems regarding the artifacts. This study proposes a unified business process modeling methodology, UPROM to integrate analysis for process documentation and automation so that related artifacts can be generated in a complete, consistent and traceable way. UPROM comprises notation, meta-model, process, guidelines and artifact generation procedures. A prototype tool is developed to support UPROM. Application of UPROM enables users to automatically generate the artifacts of user requirements document, COSMIC software size estimation and process metrics list for process automation software; and process definition document, business glossary and process improvement list for process documentation. A multiple case study is conducted to evaluate the application of the methodology, generate the artifacts and validate the results.

A Method and tool support for integrated business process modeling and ontology development
Coşkunçay, Ahmet; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2016)
From knowledge management point of view, business process models and ontologies are two essential knowledge artifacts for organizations that consume similar information sources. In this sense, building and managing the relationships between ontologies and business process models provide benefits such as enhanced semantic quality of both artifacts and effort savings. A method and tool support could guide integrated business process modeling and ontology building, and therefore enhance their semantic quality ...
A Transformation approach from eEPC to S-BPM models
Çakar, Başak; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2014)
Business process models are vital assets of organizations. The organizations prefer to use one of the many modeling methods and notations according to its features like tool support, size of user base, ease of use. During the last decade bottom up process modeling approaches such as S-BPM started to become popular among organizations. Many organizations have large process model assets modeled in a top down fashion. As a result, for most organizations to adopt bottom up process modeling approaches the existe...
Organizational learning assessment in software development organizations
Chouseinoglou, Oumout; Bilgen, Semih; Yöndem, Meltem Turhan; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Knowledge is one of the most important assets of an organization that directly affects business success, and its importance increases for organizations that use knowledge-intensive processes such as the software development industry. In an industry in which technological developments are rapid, in order to keep up with the continuously increasing competition and to obtain competitive advantage the software organizations need to obtain the correct knowledge, use it efficiently and pass it to future projects ...
Apply Quantitative Management Now
TARHAN, AYÇA; Demirörs, Onur (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012-05-01)
The Assessment Approach for Quantitative Process Management (A2QPM) helps identify software process measures for quantitative analysis even when organizations lack formal systems for process measurement. A2QPM is the first approach to quantitative management that offers software organizations a well-defined, detailed guideline for assessing their software processes and applying beneficial quantitative techniques to improve them. All the A2QPM applications we've described resulted in quantitative analysis im...
A method for product defectiveness prediction by using process enactment data in a small software organization
Sivrioğlu, Damla; Demirörs, Onur; Tarhan, Ayça; Department of Information Systems (2012)
As a part of the quality management, product defectiveness prediction is vital for small software organizations as for instutional ones. Although for defect prediction there have been conducted a lot of studies, process enactment data cannot be used because of the difficulty of collection. Additionally, there is no proposed approach known in general for the analysis of process enactment data in software engineering. In this study, we developed a method to show the applicability of process enactment data for...
