Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the management of business processes has emerged as one of the major developments to ease the understanding of, communication about, and evolution of process-oriented information systems in a variety of appli- tion domains. Based on explicit representations of business processes, process stakeholders can communicate about process structure, content, and possible improvements. Formal analysis, veri?cation and simulation techniques have the potential to show de?cits and to e?ectively lead to better and more ?exible processes. Process mining facilitates the discovery of process speci?cations from process logs that are readily available in many organizations. This volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science contains the papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Business Process M- agement (BPM 2004) which took place in Potsdam, Germany, in June 2004. From more than 70 submissions BPM 2004 received, 19 high-quality research papers were selected. BPM 2004 is part of a conference series that provides a forum for researchers and practitioners in all aspects of business process management. In June 2003, the 1st International Conference on Business Process Management took place in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Its proceedings were published as Volume 2678 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer-Verlag. A previous volume (LNCS1806)onBusinessProcessManagementwasbasedonfoureventsdevoted to this topic.

Download or read book Timed Petri Nets written by Jiacun Wang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by the request for increased productivity, flexibility, and competitiveness, modern civilization increasingly has created high-performance discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs). These systems exhibit concurrent, sequential, competitive activities among their components. They are often complex and large in scale, and necessarily flexible and thus highly capital-intensive. Examples of systems are manufacturing systems, communication networks, traffic and logistic systems, and military command and control systems. Modeling and performance evaluation play a vital role in the design and operation of such high-performance DEDSs and thus have received widespread attention from researchers over the past two decades. One methodology resulting from this effort is based on timed Petri nets and related graphical and mathematical tools. The popularity that Petri nets have been gaining in modeling of DEDSs is due to their powerful representational ability of concurrency and synchronization; however these properties of DEDSs cannot be expressed easily in traditional formalisms developed for analysis of `classical' systems with sequential behaviors. This book introduces the theories and applications of timed Petri nets systematically. Moreover, it also presents many practical applications in addition to theoretical developments, together with the latest research results and industrial applications of timed Petri nets. Timed Petri Nets: Theory and Application is intended for use by researchers and practitioners in the area of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems.

Download or read book Stochastic Petri Nets written by Falko Bause and published by Vieweg+Teubner Verlag. This book was released on 2002-09-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any developer of discrete event systems knows that the most important quality of the final system is that it be functionally correct by exhibiting certain functionaL or qualitative properties decided upon as being important. Once assured that the system behaves correctly, it is also important that it is efficient in that its running cost is minimal or that it executes in optimum time or whatever performance measure is chosen. While functional correctness is taken for granted, the latter quantitative properties will often decide the success, or otherwise, of the system. Ideally the developer must be able to specify, design and implement his system and test it for both functional correctness and performance using only one for malism. No such formalism exists as yet. In recent years the graphical version of the Specification and Description Language (SDL) has become very popular for the specification, design and partial implementation of discrete systems. The ability to test for functional correctness of systems specified in SDL is, however, limited to time consuming simulative executions of the specification and perfor mance analysis is not directly possible. Petri nets, although graphical in format are somewhat tedious for specifying large complex systems but, on the other hand were developed exactly to test discrete, distributed systems for functional correctness. With a Petri net specification one can test, e. g. , for deadlock, live ness and boundedness of the specified system.

Download or read book Modeling Business Processes written by Wil Van Der Aalst, M.P. and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-05-27 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the modeling of business information systems, with processes formally modeled using Petri nets. This comprehensive introduction to modeling business-information systems focuses on business processes. It describes and demonstrates the formal modeling of processes in terms of Petri nets, using a well-established theory for capturing and analyzing models with concurrency. The precise semantics of this formal method offers a distinct advantage for modeling processes over the industrial modeling languages found in other books on the subject. Moreover, the simplicity and expressiveness of the Petri nets concept make it an ideal language for explaining foundational concepts and constructing exercises. After an overview of business information systems, the book introduces the modeling of processes in terms of classical Petri nets. This is then extended with data, time, and hierarchy to model all aspects of a process. Finally, the book explores analysis of Petri net models to detect design flaws and errors in the design process. The text, accessible to a broad audience of professionals and students, keeps technicalities to a minimum and offers numerous examples to illustrate the concepts covered. Exercises at different levels of difficulty make the book ideal for independent study or classroom use.

Download or read book Lectures on Formal Methods and Performance Analysis written by Ed Brinksma and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-08-29 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, models and methods for the analysis of the functional correctness of reactive systems and those for the analysis of their performance (and dependability) aspects have been studied by different research communities. However, in modern systems the difference between their functional features and their performance properties has become blurred. During the last decade, this trend has motivated and increased interest in combining insights from the field of formal methods, traditionally focussed on functionality, with techniques from performance modeling and analysis. The 11 chapters in this book present the state of the art of research and tool development for the promising integrated approach towards modeling and analysis of functional and performance aspects of reactive systems.
