Agenda

4:30 PM	Welcome & Introduction
4:45 PM	Sustainable Process Automation with the Process-Driven Approach	In this presentation, we explore the concept of sustainable process automation and its significance in today's rapidly evolving technological landscape. We begin by examining the problem at hand, defining sustainable process automation and highlighting its importance. Next, we delve into the limitations of current approaches such as process programming, event-driven microservices, no-code/low-code solutions, and robotic process automation. While these methods have their merits, they fall short in addressing the sustainability aspect of process automation. To overcome these limitations, we introduce the process-driven approach, a novel methodology that effectively tackles the sustainability problem. We explain how this approach focuses on designing processes as a central element, enabling greater adaptability and maintainability throughout the automation lifecycle. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the process-driven approach, we present a live demonstration of its architecture. This demo showcases how the process-driven approach streamlines workflows, enhances collaboration between human and automated components, and supports ongoing optimization and improvement. Finally, we conclude with a call to action, encouraging the audience to embrace the process-driven approach and leverage its potential for sustainable process automation. By adopting this methodology, organizations can enhance their operational efficiency, reduce their environmental footprint, and contribute to a more sustainable future. Join us in this enlightening session as we explore the transformative power of sustainable process automation and pave the way for a more efficient and environmentally conscious future.
5:30 PM	Breakout Session	Establishing an internship program for Business Automation students.
5:45 PM	The Pursuit of Software Quality through Test Automation on Process-Aware Information Systems	Process Automation initiatives oftenly need features that aren't in the core set of capabilities offered out-of-the-box by standard Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS) vendors. The AgileKip Process Automation Platform is an open source project devoted to facilitate Process Automation initiatives based on code generation techniques, so developers can focus their efforts on the necessary customizations. Nevertheless, these customizations may introduce uncertainties that can affect the system's reliability and consistency. To ensure software quality, extensive testing becomes imperative. In this talk, we present a strategy to automate the generation and execution of user-acceptance tests of an AgileKip/Camunda-based PAIS using Robot Framework, an open source RPA.
6:15 PM	Open-ended networking in Gathertown
