为最终用户提供对象感知流程

Empowering End-users with Object-aware Processes

Kevin Andrews, Manfred Reichert

摘要:

来自不同供应商的业务流程管理系统被全球各地的公司使用。这些系统中的大多数通过确保在流程执行期间在正确的时间将任务和数据呈现给正确的人来实现业务流程的完全或部分自动化。然而,几乎所有已建立的BPMS都采用了以活动为中心的过程支持范式,在这种范式中,用户输入数据的主要方式是手工创建。此外,传统的以活动为中心的流程管理系统在灵活性方面受到限制,因为流程建模者必须考虑所有可能的执行变量。因此,大量的研究已经进入开发替代的过程支持范例,重点是实现更灵活的可执行过程。本文采用了这些范例之一,对象感知的流程管理,并介绍了我们在研究将非以活动为中心的流程支持范例的功能和灵活性带给重要的人(使用流程的最终用户)的可能性时开发的概念。本文的贡献是在PHILharmonicFlows运行时用户界面的开发和评估过程中获得的概念、想法和经验教训,该运行时允许基于对象感知的过程模型生成完整的用户界面,并完成导航和表单。这种新颖的方法允许生成完整的信息系统,完成数据存储,过程逻辑,现在功能齐全的用户界面在一个完全通用的方式从数据为中心的对象感知的过程模型。

英文摘要:

Business process management systems from various vendors are used by companies around the globe. Most of these systems allow for the full or partial automation of business processes by ensuring that tasks and data are presented to the right person at the right time during process execution. However, almost all established BPMS employ the activity-centric process support paradigm, in which the various forms, i.e., the main way for users to input data into the process, have to be created by hand. Furthermore, traditional activity-centric process management systems are limited in their flexibility as all possible execution variants have to be taken into account by the process modeler. Therefore, large amounts of research have gone into developing alternative process support paradigms, with a large focus on enabling more flexibly executable processes. This article takes one of these paradigms, object-aware process management, and presents the concepts we developed while researching the possibility of bringing the power and flexibility of non-activity-centric process support paradigms to the people that matter: the end-users working with the processes. The contribution of this article are the concepts, ideas, and lessons learned during the development and evaluation of the PHILharmonicFlows runtime user interface, which allows for the generation of an entire user interface, complete with navigation and forms, based on an object-aware process model. This novel approach allows for the generation of entire information systems, complete with data storage, process logic, and now fully functional user interfaces in a fully generic fashion from data-centric object-aware process models.
