The document proposes a methodology called Mobile Process Recognition (MPR) to identify mobile business processes in complex information systems. The MPR methodology involves: 1) Decomposing processes into elementary activities and determining responsible actors. 2) Mapping activities to a 2x2 matrix based on actor mobility and location stability to categorize activities as fully mobile, partially mobile, etc. 3) Interpreting activity categories and creating a business process model using BPMN notation, identifying mobile process components. The methodology was demonstrated on a case study of a geodesic survey process.

9. BCG Matrix Mobile Stationary Location dynamics/ Actor mobility Partially mobile activities Actor is mobile, location at which activities are performed is certain. Example: Handling of goods in a warehouse. Stationary activities Actor is stationary, location at which activities are performed is certain. Example: Machine operating jobs, software development. Location certain Fully mobile activities Actor is mobile, location at which activities are performed is uncertain. Example: Traffic control performed by traffic police. Partially mobile activities Actor is stationary, location at which activities are performed is uncertain. Example: Home nursing. Location uncertain

Geodesic survey – BCG matrix Mobile Stationary Location dynamics/ Actor mobility Partially mobile activities : • Geodetic project submission Stationary activities • Request for cadastral survey • Receipt of document • Creation of new blueprints • Specification of modifications • Modifications implementing • Sending document to client • Geodetic project review • Registering new state Location certain Fully mobile activities : • Physical points determination • Entering aberrations • New physical points marking • Measuring of control lines Partially mobile activities : • Geodetic database searching Location uncertain
