Business Process Models
13 important questions on Business Process Models
What are Business Process Models?
What are the different phases in the business process lifecycle?
Process enactment is the execution
There are different models for different phases
What is the procedural or imperative business process modeling paradigm about? And what are potential problems?
Potential problems:
•Inflexible, all execution paths must be anticipated
•Overspecification
•Maintainability
•Difficulties with demonstrating compliance
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the declarative process modeling paradigm about?
How are rules enforced in declarative business modeling?
What is goal driven execution?
What is the difference between the design models Procedural Process Models, Declarative Process Models, and Hybrid Process Models? Also give an example of each.
- Declarative Process Models specify as event conditions (constraints), e.g. ConDec, DecSerFlow, ECA
- Hybrid Process Models have a placeholder activity and a rule-based adaption, there is some control flow over the different steps, but within each step there is flexbility, e.g. placeholder activities in BPMN
What is the difference between the run-time models Procedural Process Enactment, Declarative Process Enactment, and Hybrid Process Enactment? Also give an example of each.
- Declarative Process Enactment: Dynamic run-time development of an execution scenario, there is no control and it is very slow, e.g. ECA, LTL
- Hybrid Process Enactment: execute base process and switch to other paradigm for placeholder, this is something in the middle of the first two, e.g. link between Declare and YAWL
What are the traditional transitions between design-time positions and run-time positions? And what is the use case for each?
Use case: business processes in a stable environment with predictable execution paths
Hybrid Process Modeling --> Hybrid Process Enactment
Use case: business processes that contain both stable and highly evolving parts of consist of both predictable and non-predictable execution parts
Declarative Process Modeling --> Declarative Process Enactment
Use case: business processes in a highly evolving environment and/or business processes with non-predictable execution paths
What does the cross-paradigm transition mean? What are the three in class mentioned transitions? Explain.
The three mentioned transitions are:
- Procedural - Declarative: the procedural model is transformed in rules.
Use case: business processes in distributed implementation environments
- Declarative - Procedural
Use case: business processes that require high flexibility at design-time and high efficiency at run-time
- Hybrid - Procedural
Use case: business processes that often need to be customized to the specific needs of particular situations
What is the difference between declarative and procedural paradigms?
Procedural focuses on defining an activity sequence that will result in obtaining the related corporate goal
On what does the selection of the optimal transition type depend?
There are two architecture styles for using the procedural process or the declarative rules first.
- "The egg: the declarative rules- first style: Rules, choices and goals are explicit, execution scenario is derived. Compliance (nakoming) by design. Excellent for volatile processes, many exceptions, agility.
There also exists combinations of both
