Title : From Business Process Models to Hierarchical Task Network Planning Domains

Presenter Arturo Gonzalez Ferrer
Abstract Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning paradigm has been widely used during the last decade to model and solve planning and scheduling problems, and it has proved to be very useful in the planning and coordination of human tasks. At the same time, Business Process Management (BPM) tools are getting relevant in order to model organizations business practices and processes, but their life-cycle has shown to have some shortages (as the possibility to obtain anticipatedly context-dependent plan instances). The goal of this presentation is to show a proposal for the translation of Business Process Models into HTN planning domains, in order to cover some of these deficiencies.

Title : Generating Value Models using Skeletal Design Techniques

Presenter Ivan Razo-Zapata
Abstract We present an approach to automatically generate e3value instance models, based on skeletal design techniques. The approach has three phases. While the first two phases are related to the generation of a value activity network based on a given value skeleton, the third phase matches the elements of the value network with the capabilities of service providers. The main objective of our approach is to re-use a set of value skeletons for covering an industry sector from which more business cases may be generated. Finally, we validated our approach in a case study.
