20120011079 | DERIVING ENTITY-CENTRIC SOLUTION MODELS FROM INDUSTRY REFERENCE PROCESS AND DATA MODELS - A mechanism is provided for forming a business entity model. A selection of business components is received from a business function model to be selected business components. Activities are found in an industry reference model to be selected activities corresponding to selected business components. Based on the selected activities, industry reference model is scoped to be a scoped industry reference model, which includes reducing business process models in the industry reference model to selected business process models corresponding to selected activities, reducing data models in the industry reference model to selected data models corresponding to use cases of selected activities, and reducing service operations in the industry reference model to selected service operations corresponding to the selected activities. Selected activities and scoped industry reference model are customized. Based on a business entity template, selected activities, and scoped industry reference model, business entities are generated to form a business entity model. | 01-12-2012 |

20100070561 | Process Management Using Representation State Transfer Architecture - Process management techniques using a representation state transfer architecture that manages a given process in a data-centric manner are disclosed. By way of one example, a method of managing a given process in a data-centric manner in a client/server environment, comprising at least one client and at least one server, comprises the following steps. The server obtains from the client at least one request associated with the given process. In response to the request obtained from the client, the server generates an entity, wherein the generated entity is represented in terms of a data model and a lifecycle model associated therewith, wherein the lifecycle model comprises states and state transitions with each transition caused by one or more activities in the given process, and wherein the given process is represented as a collection of communicating entities. The server sends a response to the at least one request to the client, wherein the response is based at least in part on the generated entity. | 03-18-2010 |

20090138294 | AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF EXECUTABLE COMPONENTS FROM BUSINESS PROCESS MODELS - Exemplary embodiments provide a computer implemented method, system and computer usable program code for automatically generating executable components from a process model. An input is received, wherein the input comprises a model that describes activities that needs to be performed as part of a business operation, a sequencing of the activities, and input and output data of the activities, forming a process model. A model of a set of connected business artifacts based on the process model, forming a business operation model, is generated. The business operation model is saved. The business operation model is displayed to a user. Executable components definitions based on the business operation model are generated. | 05-28-2009 |
20100004941 | Method and Apparatus for Generating Customized Provisioning Workflows from One Flow Models - A method and apparatus for provisioning customized information technology (IT) service workflows based on selection and concatenation. The method and apparatus matches tasks required to fulfill service requests to existing models and creates alternative service models to perform similar requests. The method and apparatus enables the development of customized run-time workflow and service task artifacts in response to information technology (IT) service requests based on selection and concatenation such that known and alternative workflows are quickly and reliably provisioned. The customized workflows are also compliant with process optimization methods such as Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen and others. | 01-07-2010 |
20100005469 | Method and System for Defining One Flow Models with Varied Abstractions for Scalable lean Implementations - A method and system for representing one or more families of existing processes in a composite abstraction such that process improvement techniques can be implemented in a more scalable manner. The invention enables abstracting a set of pre-defined process models into a composite model that represents sufficient operational details while being compliant with process improvement techniques such as, but not limited to, Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, and others (collectively “lean” techniques). The invention provides the ability to flexibly represent the operational and lean-related information in varied abstraction levels at different stages of the process as and when necessary. The invention provides the ability to dynamically generate and represent process models based on user-selected defining characteristics (or attributes) used for process “family” formation. This allows users to define process models based on a set of customized attributes deemed critical by that particular user, including the ability to prioritize the selected attributes. | 01-07-2010 |
