Abstract
I en konkurrencepræget verden bruger virksomheder outsourcing af forretningsprocesser for at reducere omkostninger. Men mange forretningsprocesser er ikke designet til at kunne flyttes mellem afdelinger eller organisationer. Det grundlæggende problem er fundamentet under processerne: det understøtter ikke mobilitet. Dette speciale foreslår et nyt fundament kaldet mobile ambients, som muliggør den finmaskede mobilitet, der skal til for at gøre outsourcing effektiv. Kort fortalt er mobile ambients en model, der gør det muligt at flytte dele af en proces mellem forskellige steder, samtidig med at strukturen bevares. Specialet analyserer, hvad der kræves for at gøre forretningsprocesser mobile, præsenterer et design baseret på mobile ambients, der opfylder kravene, og implementerer en fungerende prototype, som understøtter mobile forretningsprocesser.
In a competitive world, companies use business process outsourcing to reduce costs. However, many business processes are not designed to be moved between departments or organizations. The core issue is the foundation beneath these processes: it does not support mobility. This thesis proposes a new foundation called mobile ambients that enables the fine-grained mobility needed to make outsourcing efficient. Put simply, mobile ambients are a model that allows parts of a process to move between locations while preserving their structure. The thesis analyzes what is required to make business processes mobile, presents a design based on mobile ambients that meets these requirements, and implements a working prototype that supports mobile business processes.
