BIA stands for Business Impact Analysis.

For optimizing business processes effectively, a profound analysis of all relevant business data in a company is necessary. This project aims to develop an approach to automatically integrate a company’s process execution data and operational business data in order to enable a more informative and comprehensive analysis.
We address the following issues:

• development of an adequate ontology for semantic annotations
• semantic annotation of process data
• semantic annotation of operational data
• automatic integration of process data and operational data: development of reasoning and schema matching algorithms
• development of analysis techniques for the integrated data (OLAP and data mining)
• optimization of the business processes
