Empowering End-users with Object-aware Processes
Kevin Andrews, Manfred Reichert

TL;DR
This paper introduces a novel object-aware process management approach that enables automatic generation of complete user interfaces and information systems from data-centric process models, enhancing flexibility for end-users.
Contribution
It presents the concepts and lessons learned from developing and evaluating the PHILharmonicFlows UI, which generates full user interfaces from object-aware process models.
Findings
Generated user interfaces include navigation and forms.
Complete information systems can be created from data-centric models.
The approach improves flexibility and usability for end-users.
Abstract
Business process management systems from various vendors are used by companies around the globe. Most of these systems allow for the full or partial automation of business processes by ensuring that tasks and data are presented to the right person at the right time during process execution. However, almost all established BPMS employ the activity-centric process support paradigm, in which the various forms, i.e., the main way for users to input data into the process, have to be created by hand. Furthermore, traditional activity-centric process management systems are limited in their flexibility as all possible execution variants have to be taken into account by the process modeler. Therefore, large amounts of research have gone into developing alternative process support paradigms, with a large focus on enabling more flexibly executable processes. This article takes one of these…
