The hypergraph as a mathematical structure is very flexible thereby it offers the opportunity for unified and uniform handling of models and providing solutions for representing various views and perspectives of the functioning enterprise exploiting the service of IS. The central concept of EA Modeling is the artifact of the outcome of some modeling, designing and analysis activity. Our idea is to present a formal way to use the mathematical analytic methods for exploring misalignment based on different concepts and relationships between various concepts in the domain and try to align BP requirements.

Operations Management - Emerging Trend in the Digital Era

However, adequate applications form KPI creation and further processing seem to be very significant and important. We have designed a conceptual model of application denoted as BPLM Strategy Creator in form of expert system (ES) operating based on principles closely related to business process linguistic modeling approach, where linguistic sets and PBPL Equation play a role of principle importance. Our contribution contains such application description from qualitative, quantitative and design point of view. The ES qualitative description contains references to appropriate math relations and algorithms postulated within a subsequent section...

In this paper, an approach for Business Process Modelling (BPM) using Hypergraphs representation based on Finite State Machines (FSM) will be presented.
The main goal motives this work is the using of hypergraphs as a flexible mathematical structure describing Information System (IS) from various viewpoints to express the best graphical way for Business Process (BP)
The model proposed use FSM as an automated formal model by defining concepts and components of the hypergraph elements based on different FSM patterns (simple, complex) to get representations can be analyzed by either using more traditional tools as logic and inference rules or by a set of tools belonging to data science later.

The challenge of the modeling is to track the continuous changes that bear on documents and flow structure of BPs. The traditional approaches for dynamic process modeling take into account the design phase and operational phase within life cycles of both documents and BPs. However, the most recent management science approaches as agile company, lean management etc. enforce that the enhancements should start at the analysis phase and then the required modifications embodying in the structure of processes and organization should cascade through the design and operational phase in consistent and integrated way. As the documents and processes are strongly coupled to each other, a framework is needed that can reconcile the heterogenous views and models into a unified one and this framework should be grounded in a mathematically sound theory. The hypergraph as a mathematical structure is very flexible thereby it offers the opportunity for unified and uniform handling of models and providing solutions for representing and controlling of dynamic processes in the major " seasons " of their life cycles.

All those changes of a business must be implemented in business processes (BP) and their maintaining information systems (IS). Therefore, a necessity of new approaches for the dynamic business process (DBP) for their modelling, dynamic execution, simulation and management to express and model the behaviour of the system over time, it uses too software tools for modelling BP, which integrate components for dynamic modelling and measuring the performance of the processes. This gap triggered significant research efforts and several approaches to solve DBP modelling problems and ensures the processes dynamicity. In this paper, we present the foundation design and BP models to move to advanced steps of execution over time, facilitate and ensure verification and find new approaches for simulation and optimization. We give special emphasis to the investigation of modelling BP, we investigate some fundamental concepts in this domain related with hypergraphs which concepts is strongly supported in Modeling of the DBP.

Many books, articles, thesis, and previous research are focus on static BP and workflows but neglect the need of dynamic BP which is very interesting. For that reason, the aim of this paper is to discuss and review various sources related to the topic of dynamic BP definition, requirements and changes can be changed during the time under the effect of various factors. Business is rapidly changing today to meet the requirements of the changing environment or other factors. All those changes of a business must be solved using various approaches because this gap triggered significant research efforts to solving dynamic BP modelling problems and ensuring the processes dynamicity. The main goal motives this work is to survey a group of currently active researchers and investigate some fundamental concepts in this domain related with the concepts is strongly support dynamic BP to can guide to find a representative model can express all proprieties and answer the different questions presented later in the introduction.
