abstract = {This chapter discusses the evaluation of business processes in terms of semantics. For this purpose, a method providing a set of semantic process evaluation patterns is described. In order to make these patterns operational, the SeMFIS platform for engineering semantic annotations of conceptual models is used as a foundation. SeMFIS not only features a software platform based on the ADOxx metamodeling platform but also an open framework for the development of semantic information systems. SeMFIS is thus able to support the semantic process evaluation patterns on a technical level. In particular, the querying and scripting functionality contained in SeMFIS as well as its semantic annotation facilities are used together with business process models in BPMN notation, which are part of the SeMFIS standard distribution. As a proof of concept, a case study from the area of risk management is described in order to illustrate the practical application of SeMFIS when working with the semantic process evaluation patterns.},

abstract = {Business process improvement (BPI) ranks among the topics of highest priority in modern organizations. However, considering the rapidly changing customer requirements in times of high market transparency and the increasing collaboration between organizations, the development of BPI projects has become very challenging. Implicit process knowledge from diverse process participants needs to be elicited and transformed into improvement opportunities. In this context, the results achieved need to be properly documented, communicated and processed throughout a company. To face these challenges, we introduce the so-called BPI roadmap which is a concept for systematically performing BPI initiatives based on a set of easy-to-use and proven BPI techniques. Further, tool support is established allowing the efficient codification of results via conceptual model types, the easy sharing of the outcomes and the automatic generation of reports.},

abstract = {This paper addresses enterprise modeling needs, in a specific field of industrial management: the design and management of industrial product-service-systems. During the last decade, the industrial sector has undergone a change of the business model, through an increasing internalisation of service activities in manufacturing companies. The objective of this chapter is to develop a generic metamodel, which could be used to further develop IT support solutions for the design and lifecycle management of product-service-systems. The specification of this metamodel together with the associated modeling method are explained then illustrated on an industrial case study.},

abstract = {This chapter presents the Horus Method for business process engineering, which is divided into four phases. These four phases consist of (1) an initial project preparation phase; (2) a strategy and architecture phase for the definition of strategic aspects as well as enterprise and system architecture; (3) a business process analysis phase; and (4) an application phase for the actual usage of models, thereby covering essential aspects of business process engineering. A formal conceptualization of the Horus Method is provided using the FDMM formalism, which is used for tool specification for the ADOxx platform. Thereby, the focus is on the formalization of XML nets, a special variant of high-level Petri Nets, for the modeling of interorganizational business processes in the field of e-commerce. Finally, a real-life case study is described which highlights the capabilities of the Horus Method for successful business process engineering projects.},
