Abstract

 

FANTINATO, Marcelo. Contributions to the business process management. 2015. 80 p. Systematic text (Habilitation) – School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, 2014.

 

This document was elaborated to fulfill the requirements of the author’s application for a position of Associate Professor in Information Systems at the School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities of the University of São Paulo (EACH-USP). The text systematizes the author’s research contribution, focused on studies about Business Process Management. First, it presents the contributions on the specific research line named Product Line in Business Process Management, which represents the core of the author’s contributions and publications. Then, it presents the contributions on Electronic Contracts for Business Process Management, which represents his second main topic of investigation. Finally, it presents the contributions on other research lines also related to Business Process Management in which the author has been working.

 

This text describes the background and the assumptions which are the basis for the research done by the author, highlighting the contributions and developments in the last six years, i.e. after the conclusion of the Ph.D. thesis. Moreover, the ongoing works as well as the future research perspectives in this area are also discussed. In the reported period, the author published nine complete papers in journals, 18 complete papers in conference’s proceedings, two short papers in conference’s proceedings, and three papers as book chapters. From the total of 29 papers published in journals and in conference’s proceedings, 38% of them were published in vehicles evaluated as Qualis A1 to B2 according to the Capes’ area committee in Computer Science.

 

Keywords: Business process management. Software engineering. Information systems.
