OPBUS: A framework for improving the dependability of risk-aware business processes

摘要

Business processes and IT infrastructure have become a cornerstone for the management of organizations. Nevertheless, business processes are ever threatened by problems due to the exposure of these processes to external and third parties outside the control of the organizations. Risk management is mostly overlooked or is taken into consideration separately from business process management with a complete lack of formalization and automation. In this work, innovative and relevant contributions based on model-based diagnosis and constraint programming techniques are proposed for enhancement the dependability of business process management from design to run-time.
