Go4Flex
Goal-orientation for Flexible business processes
DFG Transfer-Projekt (In cooperation with Daimler AG, Böblingen)
Abstract
Business processes are crucial for modern organisations. Especially modelling of such processes is important for both (abstract) process specifications and implementation as well as IT-based automation and support. In practice, however, existing (mostly static) modelling tools and concepts have deficits - especially in highly dynamic applications areas. Therefore, the project Go4Flex investigates new methods and tools for process modelling, execution and management. Results are discussed and evaluated in co-operation with the application partner Daimler AG - currently focussing on ?Vehicle production and Logistics?. This (applied) research aims at augmenting current process models with a more abstract "goal oriented" process view which concentrate on overall goal of a process rather than on specific way of how to reach them. In consequence, such an approach also allows for higher process adaptivity at runtime. In addition, it allows processes to be closer linked to the related business strategy and to be easier adaptable to changing context conditions. In order to adequately model, simulate and execute such ?agile?, i.e. runtime dynamic processes, results from business management research are combined with those of goal-oriented management of distributed activities based on intentional BDI-Agents.
