INTEGRATING BUSINESS PROCESSES AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Giorgio Bruno

2007

Abstract

While the need for a better integration between business processes and enterprise information systems is widely acknowledged, current notations for business processes are inclined to emphasize control-flow issues and omit to provide adequate links with two fundamental aspects of enterprise information systems, i.e. the human tasks and the information flow among the tasks. This paper presents a notation for business processes whose purpose is to overcome the above-mentioned limitations. This notation, called tk-nets (task-oriented nets) supports four interaction patterns between process elements and human tasks. It is exemplified with the help of a case study concerning a web-based application intended to manage the handling of paper submissions to conferences.
