“…Thus, in this paper we analyze the internal Business Process Model of BPMN, which can be compared to the previously presented approaches. Table II presents an evaluative analysis of the described Business Process modeling languages (the summary prepared on the basis of [30]- [35]). The symbols in the tables have the following meaning: ❍ -not supported, • -supported.…”

Abstract-Process models can specify various aspects of business processes. In this paper, we present an overview of the existing solutions for describing time aspects of such models. We focus on Business Process Model and Notation and provide examples of representing time patterns in this notation. As temporal issues can be specified using temporal logics, we provide a short overview of selected temporal logics which can be used to specify the time patterns in business process models.

“…The metamodel defined in this section (Fig. 3) is a synthesis of a selection of concepts proposed by several authors according to several notations and more specifically the contribution presented in [20,23]. We have restricted our meta-model to concepts required by the approach and it is consequently not as detailed as models constructed for method engineering needs for example.…”

Improving Business Process Model Quality Using Domain Ontologies

This paper addresses the issue of improving quality of business process (BP) models by exploiting domain knowledge. Indeed, business process models reflect the business processes of companies. The success of these processes has a direct and undeniable impact on business operations success. Managing them through their underlying models helps improving their effectiveness, consistency, and transparency. BP modeling aims at a better understanding of processes, allowing deciders to achieve strategic goals of the company. However, several studies from the literature showed that in experienced system analysts often produce low-level quality. This situation is partly due to lack of domain knowledge. In this paper, we propose to support this modeling effort with an approach that uses domain knowledge to improve the semantic quality of BP models. We suggest to use ontologies as a mean to capture domain knowledge and meta-modeling techniques to deal with BP models independently of languages in which they are expressed. Our contribution is threefold: (1) the meta-models describing both a domain ontology and a BP model are described, (2) the alignment between the concepts of both meta-models is defined and illustrated, (3) a set of Object Constraint Language mapping rules is provided. A simple case study illustrates the process.

“…Kueng and Kawalek argued already in 1997 that little attention is paid to the value of making goals explicit [13]. Today, there are quite a lot of conceptual BPMLs available, but they still do not provide modelling means for business process goals and performance measures [14].…”

“…Although business process performance measurement is an important topic in research and industry [5], current conceptual Business Process Modelling Languages (BPMLs) do not mirror these requirements by providing explicit modelling means for process goals and their measures [14]. Furthermore, the measures need to be integrated into the process execution and require continuous monitoring.…”

Abstract. The UML 2 Activity Diagram is designed for modelling business processes, but does not yet include any concepts for modelling process goals and their measures. We extend the UML 2 Activity Diagram with process goals and performance measures to make them conceptually visible. Additionally, we provide a mapping to BPEL to make the measures available for execution and monitoring. This profile and its mapping are tested with an example business process.
