“…'The primary goal of BPMN is to provide a notation that is readily understandable by all business users, from the business analysts that create the initial drafts of the processes, to the technical developers responsible for implementing the technology that will perform those processes, and finally, to the business people who will manage and monitor those processes' (BPMN 2004). Several related works on BPMN include a process instance notation which was developed, and based on BPMN, to support the visualization of process execution rather than process definition (Momotko and Nowicki 2003). In addition, a concept was proposed to apply BPMN as a fundamental for future business process programming language (Emig et al 2006).…”

Business process modelling has been widely applied by many companies to support the projects such as BPR or enterprize integration. In general, business modelling technique plays the role of pre-designing and evaluating the business flow before the final implementation. However, due to certain improper situations, the developed model might not be appropriate for the final analysis and evaluation. Therefore, model feasibility should be confirmed before the formal evaluation. This research proposed a Petri-net-based approach to evaluate the feasibility of a model defined by BPMN (business process modelling notation). Two kinds of invalid situations, deadlock and infinite loops, will be defined and analysed. There are four phases in the proposed approach. In problem analysis phase, a modified business process development approach would be proposed first. Then, the invalid model would be defined and classification. In the design stage, the developed BPMN model will be transferred to Modified BPEL4WS, which is an XML based language. By applying XSLT and Java, the transferred BPEL4WS will be translated to a Petri-net model specified as CPNXML (Colored Petri-net XML). In the simulation phase, the CPNXML file can be imported into a graphical simulation package CPN Tools for further analysis. Finally, in the implementation phase, the three kinds of property analysis (deadlock, infinite loops and execution time) will be evaluated in terms of the 'liveness', 'reachability' and 'consumed time' of the converted Petri net model.

“…BPMN provides guidelines to support notation extensions [22]. These guidelines enable researchers to extend BPMN with additional modeling features such as business goals and performance measures [23], cost and reliability requirements [25] [26], security requirements [24], data modeling [27], business process visualization [28], temporal constraints [29], human resource allocation and authorization constraints [30]; and choreography technical and implementation details [31]. This section discusses some of the closely related work to ours.…”

Extending BPMN for Supporting Customer-Facing Service Quality Requirements

Service-oriented computing promises to create flexible business processes and applications on demand by dynamically assembling loosely coupled services within and across organizations. Quality requirements play a central role in service sourcing and, together with Service Level Agreements, facilitate service selection and measurement of service delivery effectiveness. This empowers customers to make better decisions when faced with multiple service offerings and varying service costs. However, existing business process modeling languages provide little support for quality requirements annotation and specification. This paper argues that quality requirements are a central aspect of business process modeling specification, and thus proposes to incorporate time, cost and reliability quality requirements as extensions to the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). These quality requirements are evaluated based on analytical model using reduction rules. An example of online purchasing business process is illustrated to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.
