Virtual process modelling informed by organisational semiotics: A case of higher education admission

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore virtual process modelling based on organisational semiotics and WebML. The Internet and the Web afford opportunities to virtualize physical processes. Research on process virtualization has so far focused on theorizing or testing which activities can or cannot be virtualized. However, studies on virtual process modelling remains limited. This study therefore uses a university's admission process as a case to explore virtual process modelling in a higher education environment. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2014.
