CS595D: Seminar on BPM: Models, Process Mining, and BI |
Abstract:
A business process is a collection of activities
assembled together to accomplish a business goal
(shipping a package, visiting doctor for an illness,
granting a construction permit, establishing a law, ...).
Business process management or BPM
refers to management of all necessary resources (including human)
to support a collection of
inter-related business processes, often within an organization (government agency,
real estate agency, hospital, institute, university, ...).
This includes successful execution of all business processes,
handling of exceptional cases,
making needed changes for a range of reasons such as
market competition,
compliance to new laws and regulations,
incorporation of new technology,
and better management of resources.
The rapid development of IT is driving the "digitalization" of BPM,
as paper documents are being replaced by electronic versions,
and business processes rely critically on software support.
In this seminar,
we will discuss and explore three specific topics of BPM:
(1) models especially data-centric models,
(2) process mining, i.e., data mining techniques applied to
discover hidden relationships among business activities,
and
(3) business intelligence or BI, which refers to the practice
and techniques of collecting and integrating
data that are vital to business operations.
