The paper presents a preliminary version of IotReq, a method for the elicitation and specification of the requirements for an IoT-system. The first task suggested by IotReq is the modelling of the domain, using the UML and following the service-oriented paradigm, then the goals of the IoT-system to build are elicited and specified, again using...

Nowadays, no one doubt that big data and analytics are fundamental tools for successfully running an enterprise. However, big data/analytics projects do not seem to be all sunshine and rainbows, and this is documented by many sources providing startling figures of failed projects. Motivated by such figures, we conducted a (grey and scientific)...

Currently, several notations can be used for modelling business processes, and various researchers tried to compare them focusing on their specific properties or constructs. We propose an approach that, instead of resulting in selecting a notation, drives to pair specific business process modelling cases with suitable modelling methods, by...

There are a huge number of scientific papers and reports intended for practitioners, not forgetting whole books and websites, presenting modelling methods in the field of software development. Thus, many questions naturally arise concerning both the nature of method itself (say, e.g. its scope and intended use) and the relationships between...

In this paper, we propose a holistic approach aimed at combining business process modelling and data-driven business process improvement. The first step requires to develop a "precise" model of the processes of the organization using the UML. Precise means that all business entities involved in the process are determined as well as all the...
