Abstract

Monitoring human-centric business processes requires human operators to manually notify to a BPMS when activities start or end. Even if nowadays smart devices, like smartphones and tablets, are adopted to make the transmission of these notifications easier, such devices usually hold a passive role, being a simple mediator between the BPMS and human operators.
In this paper, we adopt the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm by envisioning an artifact-driven process monitoring where all the objects interacting with a business process instance can be coupled with a smart device to actively detect when process activities start or end. To support the artifact-driven monitoring, we propose an ontology-based approach to assess and improve the monitorability of a process model.

Fußnoten
1
Considerations on how to practically deal with sensor event streams are outside the scope of this paper.
 
2
For the sake of clarity, we applied our architecture to a simple scenario. However, this architecture can also monitor complex multi-party business processes [15].
 
3
The proposed ontologies have been implemented with Protégé [18] and are available at http://​purl.​org/​polimi/​martifact/​sosdr.
 
5
Actually, the Physics Domain ontology uses the name hasUnit to indicate such a property. However, hasUnit has already been used in FIESTA-IoT to indicate the relation between Sensor and Unit. Hence, to avoid ambiguity, we changed the name.
