Classroom video about Business Process Management

A whole tutorial about Business Process Management or BPM. In this talking I have related the steps to perform process modeling AS-IS and TO-BE, techniques for finding information and how to align the whole thing on both: modeling business plan and company goals. 

Finally, I have presented, in this video below, which models are more often used on market to perform a process evaluation and their improvement, well like how to measuring the business processes maturity by using good practices. In a simple and uncomplicated way to those who does not know or never have had the opportunity of enroled itself in any meeting about BPM.

After this attending, I argue that you should deepen your knowledge about BPM modeling using the BPMN notation for become yourself a process analyst.

Uma Nova Abordagem para Validação de Regras de Negócio Através de Transformação e Composição de Modelos MDA

Abstract. Two important challenges for MDA designers are to make business rules independent of the platform specific model and to ensure that the resulting implementation does not violate the properties within these business rules. In this paper we present an approach that allows developers to both describe and verify domain properties at run time. In our approach, an ontology specifies domain properties that are translated to aspect-oriented code. This code is automatically merged in the implementation. As a result, we are able to execute validation tests at runtime and to generate business rules that can be reused in other MDA specific models. We evaluated our approach and toolkit by successfully reengineering an industrial furnace management application.

Formal Verification of an Application Domain using MDA and OWL

Abstract— The applications conceptual models, during the requirements identification phase, uses an independent platform model for abstract a great part of the system specification without a formal verification, be either syntactic or semantic. This paper proposes an architecture for constructing MDA models using OWL (Ontology Web Language) formalizing concepts about application domain and reducing the time of models.

USANDO ONTOLOGIAS NA CONSTRUÇÃO DE MODELOS MDA (MODEL-DRIVEN ARCHITECTURE)

Abstract. The domain of an application, during the requirements identification, uses a platform independent class model the which that it destines, abstracting good part of the specification of a system without a formal verification, be either syntactic or semantic. This article proposes an architecture for use of ontology in the construction of MDA models formalizing its concepts and reducing the time of maintenances in models during its specification for one determined domain.
