Fine Grained Process Modeling: an Experiment at British Airways
No full textWe report on the experimental application of process technology that we did at British Airways (BA) as part of the GOODSTEP project. The goal of GOODSTEP was to enhance and improve the functionality of an object database management system (ODBMS) to yield a platform suited to the construction of process-centred software engineering environments (PSEEs). These enhancements were exploited and validated by the construction of the
GOODSTEP framework for PSEE construction, which includes the SPADE software process toolset. We used the process modelling language SLANG to model BA’s C++ class library management process, and we constructed an experimental PSEE based on SPADE. BA required processes to be automated at a finer degree of granularity than that of tool invocation. We have demonstrated that SLANG and SPADE offer the basic mechanisms for
modelling these fine-grained processes. We have also shown that it is feasible to generate tools for dedicated processes and integrate them within a SLANG model so as to facilitate fine-grained process automation. However, our experience highlighted some open problems. For instance, SLANG process models are tuned to efficient enactment, thus containing very detailed process fragments. These are not the most appropriate representations for humans trying to understand the process model. Although the airline did not deploy the PSEE in its production environment, the experiment proved beneficial for BA because the modelling
activity itself uncovered serious flaws in the existing process

These are not the most appropriate representation for humans trying to understand the process model. A more comprehensible notation is needed for design and documentation purposes. Although the airline did not deploy the PSEE in its production environment, the experiment proved beneficial for BA. The modelling uncovered serious flaws in the existing process, and the BA engineers improved their knowledge of process technology

Literate modelling: capturing business knowledge with the UML
No full textAt British Airways, we have found during several large OO projects documented using the UML that non-technical end-users, managers and business domain experts find it difficult to understand UML visual models. This leads to problems in requirement capture and review. To solve this problem, we have developed the technique of Literate Modelling. Literate Models are UML diagrams that are embedded in texts explaining the models. In that way end-users, managers and domain experts gain useful understanding of the models, whilst object-oriented analysts see exactly and precisely how the models define business requirements and imperatives. We discuss some early experiences with Literate Modelling at British Airways where it was used extensively in their Enterprise Object Modelling initiative.We explain why Literate Modelling is viewed as one of the critical success factors for this significant project. Finally, we propose that Literate Modelling may be a valuable extension to many other object-oriented and non object-oriented visual modelling languages

A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing
No full textIn this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
