PRAIS project

Project Objectives

The PRAIS project will develop a unified concept for resource management that is currently missing in Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS) and will integrate it into them towards the development of Process- and Resource-Aware Information Systems (PRAIS).

Resource Assignment

Develop graphical resource assignment notations that can be integrated with imperative and declarative process modelling languages.

Resource Allocation

Develop flexible mechanisms for resource allocation and integrate them with resource-aware process models as well as with imperative and declarative process execution engines.

Resource Monitoring

Combine resource mining techniques with compliance checking mechanisms for the re-design of resource-aware process models and develop an approach for continuous resource (re-)planning.

Time Plan

The PRAIS project will run for two years starting on April 2017.
Specific milestones have been defined in order to ensure the accomplishment of the tasks identified.

1 April 2017

Project kick-off

The project starts, the first visits to the project co-operators are scheduled and the project website is developed.
1 July 2017

Individual resource assignment supported

Graphical resource assignment support is further developed for imperative as well as declarative process models considering individual work in process activities.
1 December 2017

Allocation integrated with individual assignments

Our resource allocation techniques are further extended and integrated with resource-aware imperative and declarative process models.
1 April 2018

Teamwork assignment supported

The resource assignment notations are extended and now support the composition of teams for collaborative work in process activities.
1 June 2018

Resource assignment techniques validated

The evaluation of the developed resource assignment notations is complete after conducting experiments and using the notations with use cases from industry.
1 August 2019

Teamwork allocation supported

The existing resource allocation techniques allow for allocating groups of (human and non-human) resources to process activities, thus meeting more realistic requirements in many contexts, e.g., engineering projects.
1 January 2019

Resource mining for discovery & improvement supported

Process monitoring and mining are integrated, which means that at this stage graphical resource-aware process models can be discovered and checked against compliance rules for finding potential improvement points.
1 April 2019

Continuous (re-)planning supported - Project completed

The previously developed functionalities are integrated with the resource allocation techniques for a continuous planning and resource (re-)allocation, concluding the work described for the project.

The project was granted an extension and will run until July 13, 2019.

Team

The PRAIS project has been granted within the FWF Elise Richter Programme for Senior Post-Docs, a competitive career development programme for female scientists. The research project must be conducted with an Austrian research institution.

PRAIS is coordinated by Dr. Cristina Cabanillas at the Institute for Information Business of the Vienna University of Economics and Business.

Dr. Cristina Cabanillas

Project Coordinator

Dr. Cristina Cabanillas received her Ph.D in 2012 at the University of Seville (Spain) with research results on human resource management in business processes. Prior to that she completed a degree on Computer Science with honors at the University of Extremadura, Spain (2008) and an M.Sc. on Software Engineering and Technology (2010) at the University of Seville (Spain). She has taken part in many R&D&I projects, has experience as a reviewer in top international conferences and journals, and has chaired several workshops and conference tracks.

PRAIS has collaboration arrangements with research groups of three institutions that conduct research related to the project goals.

Portfolio

The dissemination of project results involves scientific publications achieved, research talks related to the project goals given in scientific centers and organizations as well as face-to-face meetings held with the project co-operators.
