Declarative business process modelling: principles and modelling languages

Comparing Declarative Process Modelling Languages from the Organisational Perspective

The spectrum of business processes can be divided into two types: well-structured routine processes and agile processes with control flow that evolves at run time. In a similar way, two different representational paradigms can be distinguished: procedural models and declarative models which define rules that a process has to satisfy. Agile processes can often be captured more easily using a dec...

Modelling and Enforcement of Inter-Process Dependencies with Business Process Modelling Languages

Business process languages have been successfully applied in research and industry for the development of information systems. They are used for the analysis, design, construction, and verifi cation of software applications and fit well into the model-driven paradigm. Although many business process languages have emerged in the last couple of years, they are in general not used for supporting t...

Business Modelling. Languages and Tools

The paper provides an overview of business modelling techniques both at language and tool level. The basic elements of some most popular business modelling languages are briefly outlined, including the GRAPES-BM language developed by IMCS, University of Latvia. The paper presents also the basic principles, how metamodel based generic modelling techniques can be used for supporting several model...

Modelling Inter-Process Dependencies with High-Level Business Process Modelling Languages

The work presented in this paper targets the software integration on the level of business process models. The goal is to create the behavioural description of an integrated system that is consistent with the behavioural descriptions of the original local systems intended to be integrated. We build the behavioural description from existing models of the local systems by inserting dependencies b...
