A Risk-Aware Business Process Management Reference Model and Its Application in an Egyptian University

Abstract

Due to the environmental pressures on organizations, the demand on Business Process Management (BPM) automation suites has increased. This led to the arising need for managing process-related risks. Therefore, the management of risks in business processes has been the subject of many researches during the past few years. However, most of these researches focused mainly on one or two stages of the BPM life cycle and introduced a support for it. This article aims to provide a reference model for Risk-Aware BPM, which addresses the whole stages of the BPM life cycle, as well as some current techniques are listed for the implementation of this model. Additionally, a case study for a business process in an Egyptian university is introduced, in order to apply this model in real-world environment. The results will be analyzed and concluded.
