Development of a domain-specific language for run-time process modelling – Making use of smart glasses in BPM

Abstract

Wearable devices pose novel challenges to the BPM field. The advanced functionality in combination with the increased mobility has rendered devices such as smart glasses particularly suited for mobile process support. However, whereas this support is predominantly limited to information provision and workflow management, the glasses' capability to be utilized for actual process modelling has yet to be investigated. As a first step, this paper proposes an outlook on the development of a process modelling language that is specifically tailored towards the application domain smart glasses and can be applied for both modelling and representing business processes using a glasses-based modelling environment. A demonstration case is provided to highlight the utilization of process modelling on smart glasses. © 2017 Gesellschaft fur Informatik (GI). All rights reserved.
