Modeling business processes with BPEL4WS [PDF]

open access: yesInformation Systems and e-Business Management, 2005
Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) allows defining both, business processes that make use of Web services, and business processes that externalize their functionality as Web services. This short paper introduces the basic language elements of BPEL4WS using a simple example.

Merging Business Process Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper addresses the following problem: given two business process models, create a process model that is the union of the process models given as input. In other words, the behavior of the produced process model should encompass that of the input models. The paper describes an algorithm that produces a single configurable process model from a pair

Modeling Styles in Business Process Modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Research on quality issues of business process models has recently begun to explore the process of creating process models. As a consequence, the question arises whether different ways of creating process models exist. In this vein, we observed 115 students engaged in the act of modeling, recording all their interactions with the modeling environment ...

Value Process and Business Process in E-Business Modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
When almost anyone in business can answer what their value proposition is, not all of them will be able to answer what their value process is. The number will even vary of who can answer what their business process is. But it is necessary to know the ‘value processes’ of the proposed value based on which ‘business processes’ are derived. The ability to

Business Process Model Merging

open access: yesACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, 2013
This article addresses the problem of constructing consolidated business process models out of collections of process models that share common fragments. The article considers the construction of unions of multiple models (called merged models ) as well as intersections (called digests ...

Business Process Modeling Pluralized

open access: yes, 2013
Traditional centralized business process management approaches pose difficulties in coping with rapid changes and evolving process models. We developed the Plural method to allow for decentralized modeling of processes. The Plural method enables process participants, rather than a centralized group of process engineers or managers, to model and ...

Modelling of Distributed Business Processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Today enterprises face the challenge to participate in enterprise networks. Business processes in these networks extend well beyond enterprise boundaries. Definition and optimisation of business processes requires adequate modelling languages, which support the modelling of cross-organizational information and material flows.

Artificial Intelligence and Mental Well‐Being in Adult Education: Implications for Practice and Professional Responsibility

open access: yesNew Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mental well‐being is central to adult learner success, yet many adult education institutions lack capacity to provide timely and accessible support. This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can strengthen mental health–adjacent supports in adult and continuing higher education, with attention to professional practice and ...

A Dual‐Functional Electrolyte Additive for Highly Reversible Zinc‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a dual‐function additive for aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. TBAB disrupts the hydrogen‐bond network of water while TBA+ adsorbs on Zn to improve interfacial wettability and regulate Zn2+ flux, resulting in suppressed dendrite growth and parasitic reactions. This synergy extended the lifespan of Zn|
