Abstract
Organizations use managed process applications to improve operational efficiency by monitoring processes and providing performance indicators that can be used to evaluate them. General purpose application development tools and frameworks build applications that are compiled from manually crafted or tool generated source code. These approaches do not support run-time configurability of a managed process nor do they provide specific systematic support for integrated data collection, monitoring and reporting within a managed process. To facilitate configurability and integrated data management, a model-based approach to specifically engineer managed process applications is needed. This approach models all aspects of a managed process application including workflows, roles, entities, events, alerts and performance indicators. In this paper, we describe the engineering of a model-based application framework for managed processes used to implement a palliative care managed process application for severe pain management.
