Modeling business and information system goals
Kovářová, Renáta ; Panuška, Martin (advisor) ; Šalamon, Tomáš (referee)
The bachalor thesis is about modeling business and information system goals. The objective of this modeling is to determine what are the long-term business and information system goals; it models goals in a current state (business or information system) "as-is" and goals in a future state "to-be". Goal modeling is not about modeling goals in a transformation between these states, because they are not long-lasting. This modeling belongs to an analysis of the system requirements technique. Because it is relatively young, while very beneficial method of system requirements analysis, it is necessary to give it a proper attention. Important is the very definition of the "goal" itself and the reason why we actually model and why. For goal modeling several modeling languages are, used, which include framework i* and KAOS methodics. This thesis closely examines both these languages, and compair their readiness for the goal modeling in a practical way.

Modelování podnikových procesů
Panuška, Martin ; Řepa, Václav (advisor) ; Svatoš, Oleg (referee)
In the master's thesis we are concerned with the logical perspective on business process model-ing. The logical perspective on business process modeling has several advantages. First, being a formal logical system, first-order logic let us thoroughly understand the foundations of process modeling. Second, after we understand the logical foundations of business process modeling, we are free to build a BPM language based entirely on logic, or map an existing language onto logic, which may be useful for artificial reasoning. Third, if the business process model is mapped to logic (or another declarative language) it can be easily stored in a declarative knowledge base. Forth, logic based process models can be used in companies as a basis for knowledge manage-ment. And fifth, the science of logic offers a number of various semantic enhancements, which can be used in favor of better business process modeling expressiveness. The first objective of the thesis is to perform a thorough review of the literature of both our fields -- the business process modeling and temporal logic. The related second objective is to study the ability of logic to represent processes and the notion of time in general, and to offer techniques for logical process representation. Subsequently, the examples should be provided in order to present that the selected techniques are capable of performing what is sketched in the first paragraph. The third objective is to propose improvements of the current business process modeling approach and provide relevant examples. Eventually, means of extending the tech-niques presented can be proposed, too. The major contribution of the thesis is that it constitutes a reasonable basis for further research in the chosen field. For novices or even experienced in the subject it represents a good stepping stone.
