Design and development of a process modelling environment for business process utilization within smart glasses

Abstract

Business process modelling languages do not yet allow a representation of mobile or wearable device functionality, such as gestures, audio and video recording or voice commands, within a process model. However, in the last decade novel technologies like Smart Glasses or Smart Watches have been further integrated into the execution and support of business processes, thus leading to new requirements for an appropriate business process modelling and their integration into information systems. Hence, the paper focuses on a novel research direction with the overall objective to assess a potential integration of mobile and wearable device functionality in business process models, which subsequently can be transformed, utilized and automatically executed on mobile and wearable devices. Based on a Smart Glasses-based exemplary business process, we demonstrate the usage of domain-specific modelling languages for a model-driven Smart Glasses-based information system. © Copyright 2018 for the individual papers by the papers' authors.
