1. Controllability of Time-Aware Processes at Run Time Andreas Lanz 1, Roberto Posenato 2, Carlo Combi 2, and Manfred Reichert 1 1 Institute of Databases and Information Systems, University of Ulm, Germany 2 Department of Computer Science, University of Verona, Italy

2. Controllability of Time-Aware Processes at Run Time Contributions: Modelling time-aware processes – Satisfies a set of temporal constraints e.g. duration Check controllability – All temporal constraint – All allowed duration of activity An algorithm to check controllability at run time Gap: No run time support for temporal constraints

3. Modelling Time-aware Processes Map the process model to a process schema – The schema is well-structured (i.e. SESE blocks) – the minimum and maximum number of iterations for the loops are determined. – At run time process instances are created and executed based on the process schema – The execution path for each instances are captured

4. Time-aware Process Schemas Activity Duration Time needed for execution of an activity. Time lags between two activities Time gap between the beginning of two activities Cyclic elements Time span between activities in a loop Fixed-date elements Specifies when an activity must be started or completed TPs Can be determined by either domain expert experience or extracted from process logs

5. Executing time-aware processes This paper extends the CSTNU (Conditional Simple Temporal Network with Uncertainty) algorithm by Combi et al. 2012 to check the controllability of a time-aware process schema. Their extension includes: – Checking the controllability of the 4 TPs at design and run time

6. CSTNU model To check the controllability each fragment of a process schema is translated to a CSTNU fragment A s starting time pointA c contingent ending time point A E ending time point Ordinary constraints Contingent links

7. Investigations on User Preferences of the Alignment of Process Activities, Objects and Roles Agnes Koschmider 1, Simone Kriglstein 2,3, and Meike Ullrich 1 1 Institute of Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany {agnes.koschmider,meike.ullrich}@kit.edu 2 SBA Research*, Vienna, Austria 3 University of Vienna, Faculty of Computer Science skriglstein@sba-research.at

8. Contributions User preferences for the visualisation of an alignment between process activities, objects and roles models. Proposed three visualisation techniques

9. Visualisation Technique no. 1 Single view technique  Node-link representation  Integrated overview about the structure of the process model  Connections between objects and roles for each activity  Clarity and understand ability of the model depends on the number of elements.

10. Visualisation Technique no. 2 Multiple views technique  Supports multiple views  Object and organization model are displayed in the same window  This representation is beneficial for large models  Used for PN-based process modelling tools

11. Visualisation Technique no.3 Multiple views technique in connection with linking and brushing – Items selected in one model, cause the corresponding connected items in the other model be highlighted

12. Questionnaire They conducted a questionnaire to explore the usefulness and performance of these visualisations Results: – Usefulness of multiple views over single views: 39.39% agree, 48.48% disagree – Multiple views in combination with linking and brushing is more useful than multiple views
