Companies structure their work to be done using business processes. A widely used modeling language is BPMN which provides a standardized graphical notation and execution semantics. But studies show that many business processes contain logical errors. The detection of these errors priorly to the execution can save money and effort. A wide range of structural analysis methods for business processes exist that transform business processes into Petri nets or workflow graphs. But the analyses are either very slow or lack in the detection of all errors and their details. At the Friedrich Schiller University, a new workflow graph based approach is under development that promises a fast analysis, the detection of all errors and specific details to these errors. The aim of this thesis was to realise a framework that combines the modelling and analysis of business processes in BPMN. The framework should transform business processes into workflow graphs and analyse them dynamically while they are modelled. Analyses are supposed to be easily introducable. Another aspect was the enrichment of the BPMN diagram with process data that can be included into analyses too. The designed framework provides a simple interface to add new analyses or transformations. Analyses can share data independent of workflow graphs, define execution conditions and therefore define dependencies to other analyses. The transformation transforms BPMN diagrams always into analysable workflow graphs through several correction patterns that follow the BPMN semantics.

Ela considera aspectos relativos à variabilidade, compreensibilidade, escalabilidade e Requisitos Não- Funcionais. Contudo, identificamos algumas limitações para adoção da abordagem MABUP, entre elas a necessidade do desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta de apoio que permita não apenas a modelagem dos processos de negócios com características autonômicas, mas também a sua execução. Objetivo: Portanto, nesta dissertação propomos o desenvolvimento da ferramenta MABUPTool, a partir da extensão do framework Activiti, com o objetivo de auxiliar na adoção e compreensão da abordagem MABUP. Método: Após o desenvolvimento da ferramenta foram feitas duas avaliações experimentais com o objetivo de investigar a adoção da abordagem como sua ferramenta de apoio. Os resultados obtidos são promissores uma vez que os dados indicam que a adoção dos elementos estendidos auxilia a compreensão da abordagem MABUP. Conclusões: Para avaliar a qualidade da ferramenta, uma avaliação de usabilidade foi feita e os resultados indicaram que os quatro fatores analisados (satisfação geral, utilidade do sistema, qualidade da informação e qualidade da interface) foram alcançados com sucesso. / Context: Multi-level Autonomic Business Process (MABUP) approach is an option to manage autonomic business processes, it is considers aspects such as to variability, understandability, scalability and Non-Functional Requirements. However, we have identified several limitations for the adoption of MABUP approach. Among then, the need for a supporting tool, that allows not only the modeling of the business process with autonomic characteristics, but also its execution. Objective: Hence, in this dissertation we propose the development of MABUPTool tool, from the extension of Activiti framework, in order to assist in the adoption and understanding of MABUP approach. Method: After the tool development, some experiments were conducted to assess both the adoption of the MABUP approach and its supporting tool. The results indicate that the adoption extended elements enhances the understanding of MABUP approach. Conclusions: To assess the quality of the tool, a usability evaluation was performed and the results shows that all four factors analyzed (overall satisfaction, system utility, quality of information and interface quality) were successfully achieved.

This master thesis deals with proposal of design and demonstration of possible integration between Nation Subsidies Information System 2016 (ISND) and future solutions Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Agribus and process platform Business Process Management (BPM) Agribus. There is performed an analysis of requirements for ESB AgriBus and BPM AgriBus. For the implementation of ESB AgriBus is used Apache ServiceMix. Furthermore, this thesis deals with a proposal of improvements of the current solution of ISND, which are required to perform new role in the ESB AgriBus. The possibility of the integration between ISND and ESB AgriBus is demonstrated on a model business process of application for grants.
