KEYNOTE:  Hybrid Models

Orador: Prof. dr. ir. Hajo Reijers (VU University Amsterdam, Eindhoven University of Technology)

Resumen: To deal with the complexities of business operations, managers and designers of IT systems often use conceptual models. Such models can help to analyze the current state of a business process or IT system, but they are also useful to reason about future requirements and developments. For organizations that wish to engage in conceptual modeling, it is not so easy to choose which technique to follow. In this talk, I wish to present on the advantages of using hybrid models. In a hybrid model, the elements of different modeling techniques are combined, drawing from the strengths of each of these. Specifically, I will show how hybrid models may be easier to show the outcomes of process mining analyses.

KEYNOTE:  Natural Language Generation from Process Models

Orador: Dr. Henrik Leopold (VU University Amsterdam)

Resumen: Process models are widely used for documenting organisational operations. However, in particular business professionals often do not feel confident in understanding and interpreting process models and rather prefer natural language descriptions. In this talk, I will show how to automatically generate well understandable and natural-looking texts from process models. I will show how to deal with different process model elements, unstructured process parts, and varying linguistic information. What is more, I will present the results from evaluation experiments, which show that the generated texts are easily understandable and effectively allow the reader to infer the semantics of the process model described by the text.

Bio: Dr. Henrik Leopold is an Assistant Professor in Business Informatics at the Department of Computer Science of VU University Amsterdam. He received a PhD degree (Dr. rer. pol.) as well as a master degree in information systems from the Humboldt University Berlin, Germany. His doctoral thesis on "Natural Language in Business Process Models" received the TARGION Dissertation Award for the best doctoral thesis in the field of Information Management between 2012 and 2014 and the runner-up of the McKinsey Business Technology Award 2013. Before joining VU University Amsterdam, Henrik worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Humboldt University Berlin, Germany (July 2013 to March 2014) and as an Assistant Professor at WU Vienna, Austria (April 2014 to January 2015). He has been a visiting researcher at the Eindhoven University of Technology (April-July 2010), the Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (March-April 2012), and the University of Mannheim (September-November 2014). His current research interests include business process analysis, process model matching, and natural language processing. The results of his research have been published, among others, in Decision Support Systems, IEEE Software, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, and Information Systems.

Methodologies, techniques and tools for software development based on models

Oradores: Dra. Ing. Andrea Delgado (Grupo COAL, Universidad de la República)
Dr. Ing. Daniel Calegari (Grupo COAL, Universidad de la República)

Resumen: The daily operation carried out by organizations is mainly focused on achieving their defined objectives, trying to detect improvement opportunities in order to raise the level of their work. However, there is a cognitive gap between the Business Analysis area which is in charge of defining the organization's objetives, and the Information Technology (IT) area which develops software systems to support them, which many times leads to software that does not solve consistently the organization needs. This, in turn, leads to both organizational and economic problems, generating resistance in people to use the software, wich finally needs to be adapted or improved so that it can be introduced in the organization. Software development based on models provides the first step for both areas to understand and agree on, providing a joint view of the organization goals and key elements, being able to (partially) generate the desired software system from these models. The COAL research group approach is to provide methodologies, techniques and tools to support the development of software systems based on models, particularly for Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS) which will be executed in a BPMS platform in (possibly) collaborative organizations. In this talk we will present the complete approach, discussing specific elements for business process models in business process driven software.

Bio: Dra. Ing. Andrea Delgado is an Assistant Professor in Instituto de Computación, Facultad de Ingeniería, UdelaR since 2001, currently co-leading the COAL research group. She received a PhD degree in informatics from Universidad de Castilla - La Mancha (UCLM), España and PEDECIBA Informática, Uruguay, in 2012. She also received a master degree from PEDECIBA Informática, Uruguay, in 2007, and a Computer Engineering degree from Universidad de la República in 2003. She is researcher Nivel I at Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI) from the Agencia Nacional de Investigación e Innovación (ANII), Uruguay, and researcher Grade 3 from PEDECIBA Informática. She has led several research (FCE ANII) and industrial (ANTEL, INDT, BROU) projects as well as she was member of several iberoamerican, spanish and uruguayan projects in the area of business process management. Her research interests are in business process management (BPM), service oriented computing (SOC) and model-driven development (MDD), including process modeling and execution, measurement and improvement, software development methodologies and design. She has published over 30 scientific papers, book chapters, and articles in professional journals, giving both academic and professional talks. She is an IEEE and ACM fellow.

He received a PhD and master degree in informatics from PEDECIBA Informática, Uruguay, in 2014 and 2007, respectively. He also received a Computer Engineering degree from Universidad de la República in 2003. He is candidate researcher at Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI) from the Agencia Nacional de Investigación e Innovación (ANII), Uruguay, and researcher Grade 3 from PEDECIBA Informática. His research interests are in the adoption of model-driven engineering (MDE) as a software engineering paradigm, in particular with the promotion of modeling as the main software development activity, the experimentation on the use of models in heterogeneous contexts (in particular in BPM) and the establishment of formal basis for logical reasoning and automatic code generation.




Evolving Prototypes

Orador: MSc. Ing. Leonardo Rodríguez (De Larrobla & Associados / ICT4V)

Resumen: Evolving prototypes is one of the projects developed in the context of ICT4V. The general purpose is to construct a tool that assists Business Analysts during software requirement specification. Requirements are specified using a high level language (business process oriented) from which a prototype can be automatically executed and validated. The prototype/system specifications is a first class citizen of the final deliverable system, i.e. the specification is not thrown away, on the contrary it is a live specification that is further refined until it became the system. The refinement is done in conjunction by Business Analysts and Software Developers.
