1. Title: Model Driven Co-Evolution of Business Processes
2. Description:
The Knowledge and Software Engineering Lab is developing state-of-the-art techniques for the abstraction and evolution of visual business process models.
A prototype for the abstraction of business processes has been implemented in a model driven engineering framework and demonstrated with real-world process examples.
The goal of this project is to extend the existing prototype with co-evolution capabilities. In particular, the aim is to develop a distributed environment that allows the simultaneous changes of process views in the different locations and their synchronisation.
3. Skill requirements:
Students should have knowledge about data modelling programming in object-oriented languages like Java.
Knowledge aout Business process modelling is beneficial.
4. Tasks involved:
- Get familiar with Smalltalk and the VisualWorks development environment
- Get familiar with business process notations and version control.
- Get familiar with existing implementation
- Prepare a design for the implementation of a co-evolutionary approach
- Implement the design in the existing prototype
All group members must be present for the presentation and be capable of answering any questions asked during the session. Failure to answer questions or contribute where required will result in a loss of individual marks.
- Background of project
- Requirements - just a summary
- Overview of what you built/delivered and who is responsible for what
o List of achievements - what you were asked for and what you did. A slide on what each person contributed should be included for best marks. You might consider demonstrations/screen shots or similar to support this.
o These should demonstrate a strong effort was made across all group members and should sell the final product/deliverable.
- [10%] List of issues/problems and how they were successfully resolved (if at all)
- [10%] Future Directions
o Lessons learned
o Where to from here?
- Speaking Skills and Communication
o Slide construction
o Grammar
o Presentation style
o Team members were poised,had clear articulation and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the project. Every team member participated at a very high and balanced level (eg, answered directed questions). Speakers demonstrated good volume, and eye contact. Enthusiasm and confidence was displayed. The presentation fits into the ~10-15 minute time allotment.
