Activity Theory provides a framework to examine and explain human-human and human-computer interactions. In this study, Activity Theory was used to examine both interactions in depth in the context of Computer Supported Collaborative Business Process Modeling (CSCBPM) in which geographically dispersed multiple users interact with each other and with the system. This framework enabled us to examine the activities of CSCBPM in detail and understand the process of CSCBPM. During the CSCBPM, some difficulties were identified between the components of Activity Theory framework. The difficulties and how they were handled are also presented and some system design suggestions were offered to increase efficiency of interaction in CSCBPM.

An Emprical examination for collaborative nature of business process modeling Fındık Coşkunçay, Duygu; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Information Systems (2016) In this study, factors that contribute to interaction quality of collaborative group members in a computer-supported collaborative business process modeling context were investigated with qualitative and quantitative methods. Initially, interaction quality factors were identified based on a review of related theoretical frameworks and qualitative analysis of log files from a dual eye-tracking experiment. A rating scheme was then developed to assess the quality of group interactions. A research model, that r...
Application of the theory of constraints to an elective course registration system Üstün, Pınar; Onay, Lamia Zeynep; Department of Business Administration (2010) The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a holistic management philosophy put forward by Eliyahu Goldratt in 1984. The thinking process and improvement tools discussed in this theory are mainly geared to manufacturing environments, however their applicability to service environments has also been shown for private professional service organizations. This study demonstrates that the steps and principles of the TOC can also be applied to non-profit services, such as the elective course registration process describe...
Composition Capability of Component-Oriented Development Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı; Çetinkaya, Anıl; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2017-10-30) This research enhances component-oriented development approaches with the capability to represent the dynamic behavior of the final system through a process model. For an executable system, ordering of the message invocations should also be specified besides the definition of a set of components which only presents a static view. Components, however, are usually server kind software units that respond when a request is made. A central application can be expected to trigger some of the methods while some com...
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...
The Role of Metacognition in Facilitating Conceptual Change Yürük, Nejla; Beeth, Michael E; Özdemir, Ömer Faruk (2003-03-31) This paper describe the intertwined nature of metacognition and conceptual change and proposes a taxonomy that classifies the types of metacognitive knowledge and activities that are likely to influence the change in students' conceptions. The initial conceptual change model is introduced to provide background and context for the theoretical argument, and a summary of the other theoretical approaches is drawn to explain the change in students' conceptions. The definition of metacognition is presented along ...
