CPW method with application in an application system

Abstract

The Cognitive Process Workflow (CPW) method with its grammar, syntax and semantics is a process method, a process modeling method and a workflow method applicable to different technical systems. Among others also the application of the CPW Method in a process tool, workflow tool, workflow engine, enterprise architecture framework and enterprise architecture engine. The CPW Process is represented as simple sentence with a CPW Subject, a CPW Predicate and a CPW Object. The CPW Method—with CPW Process, CPW Dialog and CPW Workflow and in addition with CPW Context Diagrams (CPW Subject Context Diagram, CPW Object Context Diagram and CPW Subject Object Context Diagram)—can be applied to the business areas of financial services (banking, assurance and financial approval), chemistry, pharmacy, medicine, transport, travel, film industry, politics, psychology, legal practice and other business areas.

Description

1 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field

The invention relates to a new and improved process method, process modeling method and workflow method applicable in process tools and workflow tools, workflow engine, Enterprise Architecture Framework, Enterprise Architecture Engine, and other application systems or technical systems. The invention relates to a new and improved process method, a process modeling method and a workflow method, which can be also applied in combination with context diagrams.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Other process methods, process modeling methods and workflow methods do not have the representation of a process step as a simple sentence with a Subject, a Predicate and a Object.

Other conventional process methods, process modeling methods and workflow methods (e.g. OMG OMG Unified Modeling Language Specification (UML), Business Process Modeling Language (BPML)) have in general only one bubble for a process step. In many cases the subject is missing in the bubble of the represented process step or workflow step. In many cases in the bubble a complete sentence is not represented, but only a part of the sentence. This is the reason, that the process steps with the conventional process methods are sometimes difficult to read and to understand.

2 BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

With CPW Process every process step is a simple sentence with a CPW Subject, a CPW Predicate and a CPW Object.

At every process step of a CPW Process with a CPW Subject, a CPW Predicate and a CPW Object, represented as simple sentence, the CPW Subject is assigned to a responsibility.

At every process step of a CPW Process with a CPW Subject, a CPW Predicate and a CPW Object, represented as simple sentence, the CPW Object is assigned to a process result.

The reason is, why every process step with the CPW Process is represented as a simple Sentence with a CPW Subject, a CPW Predicate and a CPW Object, that the CPW Process as process is thereby more readable, clearer and more transparent than other methods or process methods, process modeling methods and workflow methods.

The CPW Process can be applied in combination with CPW Context Diagrams, CPW Subject Context Diagram, CPW Object Context Diagram and CPW Subject Object Context Diagram.

That a process step with CPW Process can be represented as a simple sentence with a CPW Subject, a CPW Predicate and a CPW Object, makes it possible to apply the Processes in combination with CPW Context Diagrams. This means, that the CPW Subjects and CPW Objects, which are used in the particular process steps of the CPW Processes, are represented in the CPW Context Diagrams with CPW Subjects and CPW Objects.

This feature, that the CPW Process can be applied in combination with CPW Context Diagrams, CPW Subject Context Diagram, CPW Object Context Diagram and CPW Subject Object Context Diagram, makes the CPW Method much clearer and more transparent than other methods or process methods, process modeling methods and workflow methods.

Summary of key criteria to compare the CPW Method with other process methods, process modeling methods and workflow methods:

Does another process method, a process modeling method and a workflow method exist, where every process step is represented as a sentence with a subject, a predicate and a object?

Does another process method, a process modeling method and a workflow method exist, with which it is possible, that every process step is represented as a sentence with a subject, a predicate and a object and in addition the subjects and objects, which are used in the particular process steps, are used in context diagrams with subjects and objects?

Do other Enterprise Architecture Frameworks, Enterprise Architecture Engines, and other application systems or technical systems have the new and improved methods and possibilities, which are described in this patent application?

Furthermore the CPW Method comprise with their extensions among others the application of the CPW Method in a CPW Enterprise Architecture Framework and a CPW Enterprise Architecture Engine.

3 SUMMARY OF THE PATENT APPLICATION OR OF THE INVENTION

The following list of rules shows the rules for the Grammar, Syntax and Semantics of the CPW Object with the CPW Sentence Complement and the CPW Object Extension and the CPW Subject with the CPW Subject Complement and the CPW Subject Extension according to the third and the present application.

    Grammar, Syntax and Semantics of the CPW Object with the CPW
    Sentence Complement and the CPW Object Extension and the CPW
No. Subject with the CPW Subject Complement and the CPW Subject Extension
1   The CPW Process as sentence can be formed actively or passively.
2   The active formed CPW Process is represented as Simple Sentence with a
    CPW Subject, a CPW Predicate and a CPW Object (with CPW Sentence
    Complement and with CPW Object Extension)
3   Is the active formed CPW Process formed passively, so the CPW Object
    becomes the CPW Subject.
4   The passive formed CPW Process is represented as Simple Sentence with a
    CPW Subject (a CPW Subject Complement and a CPW Subject Extension), a
    CPW Predicate (formed in passive) and a CPW Object.
5   From the CPW Sentence Complement of the CPW Object is formed the CPW
    Subject Complement of the CPW Subject.
6   From the CPW Object Extension of the CPW Object is formed the CPW
    Subject Extension of the CPW Subject.
7   This means, that the CPW Sentence Complement of the CPW Object from the
    active formed sentence of the CPW Process correspond to the CPW Subject
    Complement of the CPW Subject from the passive formed sentence of the
    CPW Process.
8   This means, that the CPW Object Extension of the CPW Object from the active
    formed sentence of the CPW Process correspond to the CPW Subject
    Extension of the CPW Subject from the passive formed sentence of the CPW
    Process.
9   All rules, which have been defined for the CPW Object, are also valid for the CPW
    Subject.
10  All rules, which have been defined for the CPW Sentence Complement, are
    also valid for the CPW Subject Complement.
11  All rules, which have been defined for the CPW Object Extension, are also
    valid for the CPW Subject Extension.
