Abstract:
In this paper, we present a process-driven methodology for continuous information systems modeling. Our approach supports the whole information system life-cycle, from planning to implementation, and from usage to re-engineering. The methodology includes two different phases. First, we produce a scenario analysis adopting a
Process-to-Function approach in order to capture interactions among components of organization, information and processes. Then, we produce a requirement analysis adopting a Function-for-Process and package-oriented approach. Finally, we deduce an ex-post scenario analysis by applying process mining techniques on repositories of process execution traces. The whole methodology is supported by UML diagrams organized in a Business Model, a Conceptual Model, and an Implementation Model.
