BlockChain Technology (BCT) has appeared with strength and promises an authentic revolution on business, management, and organizational strategies related to utilization of advanced software systems. In fact, BCT promotes a decentralized architecture to process management and the collaborative work between entities when these ones are working together in a business process. This paper aims to know what proposals exist to improve any stage of business process management using BCT because this technology could provide benefits in this management. For this purpose, this paper presents a systematic literature review in area of Collaborative Business Processes (CBP) in BCT domain to identify opportunities and gaps for further research. This paper concludes there is a rapid and growing interest of public bodies, scientific community and software industries to know opportunities that BCT offers to improve CBP management in a decentralized manner. However, although the topic is in early stages, there are very promising lines of research and relevant open issues, but there also is lack of scientific rigor in validation process into the different studies.

Over the last decade, processes have become an important asset for daily life in organizations because an adequate Business Processes Management (BPM) of an organization (e.g. software development companies) can help achieve organizational objectives. Especially, it is important to efficiently manage these processes vital for the organizational performance in order to continually improve, therefore increasing productivity and competitiveness within the organization (e.g. software processes in software companies). This management is associated with the process lifecycle and, at present, there are many tools (Business Process Management Suites, BPMS) for managing this lifecycle. However, all BPMSs do not provide full support for this lifecycle what makes it more difficult to choose the right BPMS (according to the needs of the organization). This paper presents a survey on BPMS highlighting each phase of the process lifecycle what enables organizations to compare specific BPMS according to their own organizational objectives. This survey has been carried out using a methodology that combines systematic literature review with quality models. This methodology has been used successfully in other contexts. Finally, this paper also describes how this survey has been instantiated on specific open source BPMSs. This paper presents a survey on BPMSs highlighting each phase of the process lifecycle.The survey allows the organizations to perform a comparison between the BPMSs according to their objectives.This survey has been carried out using a methodology that combines systematic literature review with quality models.The paper also describes how this survey has been instantiated on specific open source BPMSs.The study also highlights an open investigation lines to research on the unsupported features.

E‐Health Systems quality management is an expensive and hard process that entails performing several tasks such as analysis, evaluation, and quality control. Furthermore, the development of an e‐Health System involves great responsibility since people’s health and quality of life depend on the system and services offered. The focus of the following study is to identify the gap in Quality Characteristics for e‐Health Systems, by detecting not only which are the most studied, but also which are the most used Quality Characteristics these Systems include. A strategic study is driven in this paper by a Systematic Literature Review so as to identify Quality Characteristics in e‐Health. Such study makes information and communication technology organizations reflect and act strategically to manage quality in e‐Health Systems efficiently and effectively. As a result, this paper proposes the bases of a Quality Model and focuses on a set of Quality Characteristics to enable e‐Health Systems quality management. Thus, we can conclude that this paper contributes to implementing knowledge with regard to the mission and view of e‐Health (Systems) quality management and helps understand how current researches evaluate quality in e‐Health Systems.

The design processes of an aircraft are highly complex and involve a large number of multidisciplinary teams. The current organizational, methodological and technological model, based on concurrent engineering working methods, creates a gap between functional design engineering and industrial design engineering. Such gap is both at the information management level and at communication level, and creates inefficiencies in the working processes. Airbus Military launched the CALIPSOneo project to investigate how to improve the current industrialization design processes and to facilitate a collaborative working environment to the multidisciplinary design teams. As a result of the CALIPSOneo project, PLM tools were adapted to develop working methods based on collaborative engineering, and particularly to develop the industrial Digital Mock-Up (iDMU). Such iDMU contains information of the product, of the assembly processes and of the resources needed during the execution of such processes. iDMU, facilitates the implementation of collaborative working procedures between functional and industrial design engineers, the 3D virtual verification and validation of the assembly processes, and the automation of extracting documentation, in several formats (paper, electronic, augmented reality), needed to execute the assembly processes at the shop floor
