Managing process model complexity via concrete syntax modifications

While Business Process Management (BPM) is an established discipline, the increased adoption of BPM technology in recent years has introduced new challenges. One challenge concerns dealing with the ever-growing complexity of business process models. Mechanisms for dealing with this complexity can be classified into two categories: 1) those that are solely concerned with the visual representation of the model and 2) those that change its inner structure. While significant attention is paid to the latter category in the BPM literature, this paper focuses on the former category. It presents a collection of patterns that generalize and conceptualize various existing mechanisms to change the visual representation of a process model. Next, it provides a detailed analysis of the degree of support for these patterns in a number of state-of-the-art languages and tools. This paper concludes with the results of a usability evaluation of the patterns conducted with BPM practitioners.

Cabin crew rostering at KLM: optimization of reserves

In this paper, we will discuss the issue of rostering jobs of cabin crew attendants at KLM. Generated schedules get easily disrupted by events such as illness of an employee. Obviously, reserve people have to be kept 'on duty' to resolve such disruptions. A lot of reserve crew requires more employees, but too few results in so-called secondary disruptions, which are particularly inconvenient for both the crew members and the planners. In this research we will discuss several modifications of the reserve scheduling policy that have a potential to reduce the number of secondary disruptions, and therefore to improve the performance of the scheduling process.

Business process management in small business : a case study

Small Businesses account for a significant portion of the Australian business sector. With Business Process Management (BPM) gaining prominence in recent decades as a means of improving business performance, it would seem to only be a matter of time before it gains momentum within the Small Business sector. One may even question why it has not already achieved more traction within the sector. This case study involves a BPM initiative to develop process infrastructure in an establishing Small Business. It explores whether mainstream BPM tools, techniques and technologies can be applied in a Small Business setting. The chapter provides a background to the case organisation, outlines the activities undertaken in the BPM initiative and distils key observations drawn from participation in the initiative and consultation with stakeholders. Based on the case study experiences, a number of implications are identified for further consideration by the BPM discipline as it continues to address the question of how it can become more widely adopted amongst Small Businesses.

National media regulations in an age of convergent media: Beyond globalisation, neo-liberalism and internet freedom theories

There is a widely held view that the nation-state has become less central to media and communications policy over the last two decades. As Jan van Cuilenberg and Denis McQuail (2003, p. 181) observed in their overview of trends in communications policy-making, 'the old normative media policies have been challenged and policy-makers are searching for a new communications policy paradigm'. There are characteristically five factors put forward as to why the nation-state has become less central to media in the twenty-first century

Usages étudiants des outils informatiques liés à Smiley EE

Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans un contexte institutionnel particulier. Depuis 2011, l’ULB rénove ses différentes plateformes informatiques afin d’améliorer les outils et services rendus à la communauté étudiante. Portant le nom de « SMILEY », ce grand projet gère entre autres les outils MonULB, GeHol, Web mail, U.V. etc. et a pour objectif une gestion plus simple, plus efficace et plus flexible de l’Université. Étant donné la complexité initiale du système de gestion de l’ULB, la mise en place du projet Smiley ne s’est pas faite sans difficultés. Divers bugs et imprévus ont été et sont encore rencontrés. Dans ce cadre, les autorités de l’ULB ont décidé de créer un observatoire pour mener des recherches sur les usages étudiants des outils informatiques liés à SMILEY EE (pour Études et Étudiants) afin d’améliorer l’acceptation des outils concernés. Au cours de ces recherches, différentes variables en lien avec l’utilisabilité et l’expérience utilisateur seront envisagées :connaissance du web, connaissance des TIC, sentiment d’efficacité personnel, perception de l’utilité et de la facilité d’utilisation des interfaces, stratégies de recherche d’information utilisées, sentiment d’autonomie t de contrôle, satisfaction cognitive et affective, identification à l’institution… Dès lors, les objectifs sont ;outre l’étude des déterminants de l’acceptation des Tic étudiants, de collecter l’avis des utilisateurs concernés, de fournir des recommandations, d’accompagner la mise en œuvre des améliorations et d’anticiper les besoins/attentes futures en matière de TIC à l’université.Pour cela, les méthodologies employées seront qualitatives et quantitatives. Des groupes de discussions exploratoire seront organisés afin d’identifier plus précisément les facteurs de satisfaction et d’insatisfaction, et des tests d’utilisabilités seront élaborés pour déterminer in situ les difficultés rencontrées. Des questionnaires en ligne seront aussi diffusés afin de déterminer le rôle des variables susmentionnées auprès d’un échantillon représentatif de la communauté estudiantine. L’ensemble des résultats permettra alors de guider des actions concrètes sur les outils étudiés.

Satisfaction and acceptance with learning management systems

More and more often, universities make the decision to implement integrated learning management systems. Nevertheless, these technological developments are not realized without any trouble, and are achieved with more or less success and user satisfaction (Valenduc, 2000). It is why the presented study aims at identifying the factors influencing learning management system satisfaction and acceptance among students. The Technology Acceptance model created by Wixom and Todd (2005) studies information system acceptance through user satisfaction, and has the benefit of incorporating several ergonomic factors. More precisely, the survey, based on this model, investigates behavioral attitudes towards the system, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, as well as system satisfaction, information satisfaction and also incorporates two groups of factors affecting separately the two types of satisfaction. The study was conducted on a representative sample of 593 students from a Brussels university which had recently implemented an integrated learning management system. The results show on one hand, the impact of system reliability, accessibility, flexibility, lay-out and functionalities offered on system satisfaction. And on the other hand, the impact of information accuracy, intelligibility, relevance, exhaustiveness and actualization on information satisfaction. In conclusion, the results indicate the applicability of the theoretical model with learning management systems, and also highlight the importance of each aforementioned factor for a successful implantation of such a system in universities.
