Round-trip Business Process Driven SOA modelling between ARIS and Cordys
No full textBusiness process modelling is the core activity in Business Process Driven SOA. ARIS is as Business Process Analysis (BPA) tool adequate for analyzing and designing business processes, while the execution and monitoring of these processes is empowered by Cordys as Business Process Management Suite (BPMS). The challenge is to enable iterative round-trip modelling across these two tools. Event-driven Process Chains (EPC) and Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) have established themselves as the most used modelling languages in the industry. Coupling ARIS and Cordys involves 1) transforming the high-level business process models in EPC developed in ARIS into executable process models in Cordys BPMN, and 2) ensuring round-trip development by means of interoperability. This thesis proposes a conceptual framework to couple a BPA and BPMS tool for round-trip business process modelling. The framework utilizes concepts from the Model Driven Architecture for structural addressing interoperability and model transformations. Business process models are developed and assessed from high-level, operational and technical viewpoints. Depending on the level of interoperability wished for, different types of model transformations within and between these viewpoints apply. Ensuring interoperability with traceability may allow maintaining the perception on the real world with different viewpoints. The framework is applied on the ARIS and Cordys case. Analyzing and comparing the tools have given insight on type of models, the information for exchange, and where possible coupling points are. Model transformations are defined for EPC and Cordys BPMN models. Results of the framework provide a foundation on how to achieve interoperability between ARIS and Cordys.Computer Science Information ArchitectureElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

A lost legacy: a critical assessment and catalogue of the illustrated work of Ernest Aris: Alfred Ernest Walter George Aris (22 April, 1882 -1963: children’s author, illustrator and commercial artist
Full text linkErnest Alfred Walter George Aris FZS, SGA, (1882–1963) was born in Islington and
moved to Bradford where he spent his formative years and attained a diploma at the Bradford
Technical College of Fine Art in 1900. Aris was a professionally trained commercial artist,
author, and prolific illustrator of 170 children’s and natural history books. He also illustrated
over 250 books for other authors, including Enid Blyton, Beatrix Potter, and May Byron, as well
as contributing to a number of leading periodicals, magazines and newspapers. Aris was not a
member of any of the active artists’ clubs or societies and was possibly shunned by his
contemporaries and peers, who considered him unoriginal and an unscrupulous opportunist.
Volume I of this thesis seeks to examine these suggestions and assesses why Aris’s name,
despite his significant output, has remained relatively anonymous and why much of his legacy
appears to have been unidentified, overlooked or forgotten.
Chapter 1 discusses the historical influences of anthropomorphism on Aris’s style and
those of his immediate predecessors. I have categorised Aris’s books into three periods for this
appraisal and examined his technical attributes and qualities, together with his trademark
features and characteristics, with the purpose of identifying what makes Aris’s creative design
instantly recognisable and his output of illustration so distinctive.
Chapter 2 discusses Aris’s relationship with the children’s author and illustrator, Beatrix
Potter. Aris holds a unique place in history in that he was commissioned by Beatrix Potter to
provide illustrations for her book and was the only artist with whom she seriously contemplated
a professional working partnership (1916). However, Frederick Warne and Beatrix Potter later
accused Aris of plagiarism and of exploiting any opportunity to achieve a commercial
advantage. There is an argument to suggest that Aris’s affiliation with Potter and the allegations
of plagiarism had a significant impact on his long term reputation and was possibly the reason
for adopting the pseudonym Robin A. Hood.
Chapter 3 examines the creative scope and features of Aris’s prestigious commercial
partnerships. These start from the beginning of his professional career at the turn of the
twentieth century, which coincided with the technical development and advancement of the
colour picture postcard. Aris was at the forefront of this revolution, designing several series of
comic and humorous postcards for leading printers that are now associated with and
representative of a bygone era. In 1915 Aris was commissioned to design six tram posters,
which were selected by Frank Pick at London Transport, as part of the National Collection of
Posters. Pick single handedly revolutionised poster art in Britain and was responsible for
establishing the national collection, where these posters now reside and have remained forgotten
and out of sight for the last century. In the 1920s the trend for collecting novelty cigarette cards
enabled Aris to produce a number of outstanding natural history designs as well as the infamous
Frisky series, where his mischievous sense of humour is much evident in his trademark
characters. Perhaps Aris’s final and greatest legacy, however, lies in the legendary Cococubs
campaign for Bournville Children’s Cocoa, which was described as ‘one of the cleverest
publicity schemes of the year.’1 The success of the advertising campaign meant demand
outstripped supply of the product, as youngsters eagerly sought the ‘free toy in every tin’
promotional figurines that Aris designed (1934-1936).
Volume II of this thesis comprises of a unique catalogue of Aris’s creative output over
fifty years and spans a range of commercial fields of art. The catalogue is divided into four parts.
Part one consists of Aris’s literary publications, with a detailed bibliographic record and image
of the cover of each book that he wrote and illustrated under his own name and pseudonyms, as well as prominent books Aris illustrated for other eminent authors and a compendium list of
books Aris illustrated for authors and other publications. Part two is a record of Aris’s
commercial work, including the early series of pictorial postcards that he completed for leading
quality publishers at the start of his career (1904-1909) and the six pictorial natural history
posters, which Aris was commissioned to undertake for the London Transport tram system
(1915). Part three comprises of Aris’s collectables and contains the four unique series of
cigarette cards that Aris designed for leading tobacco manufacturers (issued 1929-1935). Part
four includes a comprehensive description of each of the limited editions and subtle colour
variants of the Cococub lead figurines inserted into Bournville Children’s Cocoa (1934-1936).
The aim of the thesis is to justify why I believe Aris deserves further merit for his
contribution within the field of illustration and commercial artwork. I have sought to highlight
the factors that make his contribution and the success of his creative designs within these
different fields so significant.

On The Coupling Of Architectures: Leveraging DEMO Theory Within The ARIS Framework
No full textThis thesis project has been carried out within the Data and ICT Service Centre of the Directorate?General for Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat). The project is aimed at exploring how architectures that are based on the DEMO methodology and the ARIS framework can be consistently interconnected in practice. The architectures that were used are the Dienstverleningsmodellen (DVL) and the Uniforme Primaire Processen (UPP) of Rijkswaterstaat, which are based on DEMO and ARIS respectively. The research culminates in the development of a consistent coupling between these two architectures. The project is defined by the following question: “How can DVL and UPP models be coupled to each other in a way that is consistent?” The following results of the project provide an answer to the research question: - A description of the current state of coupling - A description of the consistent state of coupling - A method to achieve the consistent state of coupling - Guidelines to maintain the consistency of the couplingSoftware TechnologyElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

BUSINESS PROCESS MODELLING USING RIVA AND ARIS – PART 1, PROCESS ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT: COMPARATIVE STUDY (7)
Full text linkBusiness process modelling has been given great attention due to its crucial role in developing computer-based systems that support (and automate) organizational processes. In information systems; building the right process architecture is vital, since a poor division of organizational processes can lead to complex designs or incoherent structure. Moreover, process architecture acts as a big picture of what the organization does, and represents dynamic relationships between the existing processes, which in turn helps understand how the organization works (Ould, 2005). A number of process architecture methods are available, however, few studies focused on assessing these methods, and comparing some of them to find out how easy they are to be used in particular contexts, and whether they can be standardized. In a previous work for the author, ARIS was used to generate a process architecture diagram for academic libraries (Tbaishat, 2015). This paper discusses the derivation of a Process Architecture Diagram (PAD) using Riva method in detail; in contrast to the process architecture diagram developed using ARIS. The information system selected as an example for this comparative study is in the context of academic libraries, embedding various –generic - library processes. ARIS is more professional tool that can be used to support large organizational systems with clear division of processes, many users and less complicated architecture. The translation from ARIS process architecture to Riva\u27s PAD is not likely to be straightforward, since there are major differences between the two methods, and it will rely on the analyst\u27s ability of interpretation
Інформаційна система контролюючого органу (RAIS) або розширена регуляторна інформаційна система (ARIS): можливості надання публічних послуг
Full text linkIn accordance with the aim of the research, the author reviewed the «Regulatory Authority Information System» (RAIS) and «Advanced Regulatory Information System» (ARIS) information systems designed for radiation safety regulatory authorities to determine the possibilities of providing public services online. The relevance lies in the consideration of RAIS and ARIS information systems from the standpoint of the activities of state regulatory authorities in the field of radiation safety under the influence of the newest management concepts. The research method is a comparative analysis, which was conducted according to the following criteria: functions, structure (sections), settings (changing or adding fields to the database), access (download for installation), interface translation, use (number of countries). The results of the review of the above systems indicate that at this stage of software development attention is paid to the functions of accounting, reporting and document management. Therefore, the need for online public services to be provided by regulatory authorities is not a priority for developers of these systems. The author concludes that for regulatory authorities on radiation safety in different countries not a unified specialized software has been created to take full advantage of function the provision of public services online.Автором здійснено відповідно до мети дослідження огляд інформаційних систем «Regulatory Authority Information System» (RAIS) та «Advanced Regulatory Information System» (ARIS), що створені для контролюючих органів з радіаційної безпеки, для визначення можливостей надання публічних послуг онлайн. Актуальність полягає в розгляді інформаційних систем RAIS та ARIS з позицій діяльності державних регулюючих органів у сфері радіаційної безпеки під впливом на них новітніх управлінських концепцій. Методом дослідження є порівняльний аналіз, який проводився за критеріями: функції, структура (розділи), налаштування (зміна або додавання полів у базу даних), доступ (скачування для встановлення), переклад інтерфейсу, використання (кількість країн). Результати огляду вищезазначених систем вказують на те, що на даному етапі розробки програмних версій увагу приділено функціям обліку, звітності та управлінню документацією. Тому потреба в наданні онлайн публічних послуг регулюючими органами не є пріоритетним завданням для розробників цих систем. Автор приходить до висновку, що для регулюючих органів з радіаційної безпеки країн світу не створено єдиного уніфікованого спеціалізованого програмного забезпечення для використання повною мірою всіх потрібних функцій, у тому числі надання публічних послуг онлайн
