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.

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.
