It starts with the individual participants' perspectives on their work in a process and its structuring and harmonization, and then moves on to its specification in a model and how it is embedded in the organizational and IT environment of the company. Lastly, the book examines the joint processing of instances in the resulting socio-technical systems. A corresponding illustration, which expands with the overview, enables readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of business process management. The book presents various facets of business process management from the perspective of the participants, and introduces a selection of models that have proved useful in practice. The design of such models supports the transition from a more-or-less unstructured or unsatisfactory way of working to a structured process that corresponds to the ideas of the company and its customers. For this second edition, several new sections dealing with the integration of IoT processes, artificial intelligence, and social behavior patterns in process mining, a whole chapter on implementation and operation, and three new case studies were added. The book is intended for professionals in industry as well as students in the field of business information systems who are looking for guidelines on how to discover, create and implement real-world processes.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FleischmannSchmidtStary2013, author = {Fleischmann, Albert and Schmidt, Werner and Stary, Christian}, title = {Open S-BPM = Open Innovation}, booktitle = {S-BPM ONE - Running Processes: 5th International Conference, S-BPM ONE 2013, Deggendorf, Germany, March 11-12, 2013, Proceedings}, editor = {Fischer, Herbert and Schneeberger, Josef}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-642-36754-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36754-0_19}, pages = {295 -- 320}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FleischmannFriedlGrossmannetal.2021, author = {Fleischmann, Albert and Friedl, Anton and Großmann, Daniel and Schmidt, Werner}, title = {Modeling and implementing of industrie 4.0 scenarios}, booktitle = {Modelling to Program}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-72695-9}, issn = {1865-0929}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-72696-6_4}, pages = {90 -- 112}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @book{FleischmannOpplSchmidtetal.2020, author = {Fleischmann, Albert and Oppl, Stefan and Schmidt, Werner and Stary, Christian}, title = {Contextual Process Digitalization}, subtitle = {Changing Perspectives - Design Thinking - Value-Led Design}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-38299-5}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-38300-8}, pages = {X, 275}, year = {2020}, abstract = {This open access book presents an overview and step-by-step explanation of process management.

Denn das traditionelle Business Process Engineering st{\"o}ßt heute angesichts der Digitalisierung und der dynamischen Entwicklung von Organisationen immer mehr an seine Grenzen, beispielsweise bez{\"u}glich Agilit{\"a}t. Um nun das Wesen von Aufgaben und Abl{\"a}ufen in Organisationen zu erfassen, schlagen die Autoren einen Perspektivwechsel vor: das Denken in Kommunikationsprozessen. Dieses Konzept l{\"a}sst sich wirtschaftlich, organisatorisch und technisch ohne einschl{\"a}gige Vorkenntnisse umsetzen. Leserinnen und Leser finden in dem Buch konkrete Handlungsanleitungen f{\"u}r die Digitalisierung von organisationsrelevanten Abl{\"a}ufen. Daneben liefern die Autoren Einblicke in die Systemtheorie und in das Design Thinking. Ihr Ziel ist, Konzepte einfach und verst{\"a}ndlich zu erl{\"a}utern, ohne dabei komplexe Zusammenh{\"a}nge zu vernachl{\"a}ssigen. Dank ausf{\"u}hrlicher Konzeptdarstellung und Ausfl{\"u}ge in die Theorie mit Beispielen aus der Praxis, eignet es sich f{\"u}r Studierende und f{\"u}r Wissenschaftler genauso wie f{\"u}r Praktiker.

Due to current agility requirements of organizations, socio-technical system development is considered one of the key activities of members of the organizations. Dynamic process adaptation enable handling the volatility of business operation and IT infrastructure. Subject-oriented process representations are key enablers to dynamic adaptation due to their capability for stakeholders to create directly executable models. In this way stakeholder can be involved in change management pro-actively. Subject-oriented models (i) represent all relevant features required for system control and decision making, and (ii) are executable on demand. This effectiveness enables organizational change in a creative and efficient way, while establishing innovative design and change management tools. Subject-oriented Business Process Management capabilities are reflected in this realm revealing benefits and potential for further research.}, language = {en} } @article{StaryElstermannFleischmannetal.2022, author = {Stary, Christian and Elstermann, Matthes and Fleischmann, Albert and Schmidt, Werner}, title = {Behavior-Centered Digital-Twin Design for Dynamic Cyber-Physical System Development}, volume = {2022}, pages = {169}, journal = {Complex Systems Informatics and Modeling Quarterly (CSIMQ)}, number = {30}, publisher = {Technische Universit{\"a}t Riga}, address = {Riga}, issn = {2255-9922}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.7250/csimq.2022-30.02}, pages = {31 -- 52}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Digital Twins are digital models of Cyber-Physical Systems to enable not only continuous monitoring but also active functional improvement of networked services, physical products, machines and devices. This capacity is of utmost importance when recognizing and exploring business opportunities in terms of organizational and technology innovations, as well as enriching the scope of system-relevant applications. Before being operated in their target ecosystems, such as smart cities, Cyber-Physical Systems can be validated and be run as Digital Twin through executable behavior models. The development of these models captures both, the horizontal, and the vertical integration of CPS components, thus allowing to consider specific system qualities, such as pollution effects of traffic. This article investigates methodological and technological aspects of developing and operating Digital Twins along system transformation processes. We consider integration depth and breadth, connectivity, organizational intelligence, validation, and implementation variability in the context of human-centered modeling and development. The approach enriches the understanding of digital twins towards digital representation of Cyber-Physical Systems allowing for dynamic allocation of physical and digital parts according to operational conditions. An exemplary case study in traffic management demonstrates the feasibility and practicability of the communication-centered approach.}, language = {en} } @article{FleischmannSchmidtStaryetal.2014, author = {Fleischmann, Albert and Schmidt, Werner and Stary, Christian and Augl, Martina}, title = {Agiles Prozessmanagement mittels Subjektorientierung}, volume = {50}, journal = {HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {2198-2775}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/BF03340797}, pages = {64 -- 76}, year = {2014}, language = {de} } @article{SchmidtFleischmannGilbert2009, author = {Schmidt, Werner and Fleischmann, Albert and Gilbert, Oliver T.}, title = {Subjektorientiertes Gesch{\"a}ftsprozessmanagement}, volume = {46}, journal = {HMD Praxis der Wirtschaftsinformatik}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {2198-2775}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/BF03340343}, pages = {52 -- 62}, year = {2009}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{FleischmannKannengiesserSchmidtetal.2013, author = {Fleischmann, Albert and Kannengiesser, Udo and Schmidt, Werner and Stary, Christian}, title = {Subject-Oriented Modeling and Execution of Multi-Agent Business Processes}, booktitle = {Proceedings: The 2013 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technologie, IAT 2013, Volume 2}, editor = {Raghavan, Vijay and Hu, Xiaolin and Liau, Churn-Jung and Treur, Jan}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Los Alamitos}, isbn = {978-0-7695-5145-6}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/WI-IAT.2013.102}, pages = {138 -- 145}, year = {2013}, language = {en} }
