An empirical evaluation for business process tools

A user can have many profiles for the same - Business rule. It describes the actions and criteria that Web application. It describes an object type to model the entities that integrate the application, and the information handling Table 1: Concepts at each level of abstraction for the users to navigate. It describes an abstract object to be transferred between the Web application and a user or vice versa as a The conceptual modeling concepts are as follows. It describes the information system purpose, - Service.

It describes an activity or an action that the web limitations and responsibilities, from the business view application has. It describes the trigger of an activity or action Org. Pure nav. It describes the quality features or Actor Actor Nav. Page constrains for the web application.

Slice - Pre and pos condition. It describes the performance of User profile an event execution where a precondition is a required Rol User profile Class Class object state before the event can be executed and a post Resource Artifact condition is the required object state after the event Artifact Artiffact execution. Capacities evaluation Event Business Constraint Pre and Rule post The concepts are enhanced with aspects that make them condition more powerful to model a particular view.

These concepts Quality Non fuct. Non funct. The req. The - Actor. It describes an entity human, hardware, software scale is defined for each concept using the capabilities or process activity that interacts with the information related to the concept. Also, a desired capability system and that might play different roles. It describes an abstract or physical entity that is a scale. Following a well-known approach from the transferred between an actor and the information system.

It describes a service that must be provided by concept a scale between 0 and 5 is assigned which is going the system to the actors. It describes a change in the business process in one instant specific of time.

The order assigned to the scales is the result the analysis - Non functional. It describes the desired quality features models tools. The concepts evaluation scales facilitate the or constraints for the information system as for example, comparison of different modeling tools capabilities see platform and interface requirements, etc.

The evaluation scale is obtained by first - Constraint. It describes a condition for a service taking a list of the capabilities of one tool, and then a list execution provide by the system. The Web modeling concepts are as follows. For each modeling tool and method. For example, the precondition and post condition for each aspect ai, a corresponding evaluation ei is concept at the web level of abstraction; if the method has obtained.

The results are displayed in a table for easy of the post condition aspect, it will have 1 point. A tool that scores comparison and a total score is obtained for each tool and method has also the precondition aspect, it will have 2 points. If the method has the post condition, precondition better than other it possibly has more capabilities to model and the associated event aspect, it will have 5 points.

The tools were evaluated with respect to the parameters defined for the approach presented here. During the evaluation of tools, their own characteristics are shown, for example, the quality aspects of a business process are modeled as qualitative goals using BPM-UML.

At web level, the Concepts allow to evaluate the products of different tools result shows the capacities of each tool, for example, OO- when they are applied to a specific problem. Emerald Group Publishing Limited. Report bugs here. Please share your general feedback.
