An event has been organised for delegates to learn about
Workflows and Business Process Modelling Notation on Thursday the 22nd
of March, at Austin Court in Birmingham.
We expect spaces to fill very
quickly so book early to secure your place as there are limited places.
The event is FREE (normally the fee for
this kind of workshop would be several hundred pounds!), you just have
to organise your own travel and accommodation to the venue.
The closing date is the 15th of March for bookings, please do not miss
this opportunity to attend this very useful workshop.
The workshop is being delivered by the excellent Professor Balbir Barn
who has a research background in methodologies and software application
development toolsets including business process modelling toolsets.
Prior to academia, he worked extensively on Component Based Development
methods and design of component modelling toolsets at Texas Instruments
Research Labs. Balbir was the lead investigator on the COVARM project -
a recently completed project funded by JISC to explore the potential
automation of elements of the course / programme validation business
process within the Higher Education sector.
This workshop introduces delegates to the basic principles and concepts
underlying business process modelling and workflow. The importance of
business process modelling and its role in the design of software
systems will be emphasised. This workshop will provide coverage of the
OMG Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN). Delegates will be taken
through the use of BPMN using case study and a set of exercises from a
familiar domain. Case studies from the Repository, e-Science and
e-Framework Programmes will be used to contextualise the proposed
methods and notations described in this workshop.
The learning outcomes are as follows:
1. Principles, concepts and techniques of business process modelling
and workflow;
2. The role of workflow and process models in the analysis, design
and implementation of information systems;
3. The OMG standard - Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN).
4. Applying the BPM Notation to defining and describing workflow.
5. Alternate technologies and notations for workflow modelling
through case study analysis.
