It is increasingly important to evaluate the performance of business processes. A key instrument to carry out this evaluation is by means of Process Performance Indicators (PPIs) as suggested in many methodologies and frameworks like, for instance, COBIT, ITIL or EFQM. As a consequence, it is convenient to integrate the management of PPIs into...

Robotic process automation (RPA) is a technology that is presented as a universal tool that solves major problems of modern busi nesses. It aims to reduce costs, improve quality and create customer value. However, the business reality differs from this aspiration.

The use of chatbots has spread, generating great interest in the industry for the possibility of automating tasks within the execution of their processes. The implementation of chatbots, however simple, is a complex endeavor that involves many low-level details, which makes it a time-consuming and error-prone task. In this paper we aim at...

An important aspect in the business process lifecycle is the evaluation of business processes performance, since it helps organisations to de- fine and measure progress towards their goals.

This article presents DemaBot: a low-code solution to create chatbots designed to automate decision making. Examples of these chatbots range from COVID-19 screening to first-line incident support, amongst others. Using DemaBot, the developer only needs to model the decision that the chatbot will automate using DMN and, optionally, customize the...

Business process (BP) modelling notations tend to stray their attention from resource management, unlike other aspects such as control flow or even data flow. On the one hand, the languages they offer to assign resources to BP activities are usually either little expressive, or hard to use for non-technical users. On the other hand, they barely...

Process Performance Indicators (PPIs) are a key asset for the mea- 2 surement of the achievement of strategic and operational goals in process–oriented 3 organisations.
