A Business Process Design Language

چکیده
Business process modelling and analysis puts specific requirements on models used and the language for expressing those models. The models should be easily understandable and analysable. In this paper we study the requirements for such a language and introduce a language that satisfies those requirements to a large extent. It was developed in the Testbed project, which aims at developing a systematic approach to business process change. The language, called AMBER, has a graphical representation, and allows to model processes, data, and the organisation and people involved in a uniform and integrated way. On the basis of a formal foundation of the language, different analyses and tool support are available. We illustrate our approach with a realistic example.

متن کاملTransformational Design of Business Processes in BPEL Language
A transformational approach to the design of executable processes in Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is presented. It has been built upon the transformations of business processes accompanied by a formal approach based on process algebras used to verify the behavioral equivalence of business processes. The initial business process can be denoted in BPEL, then a series of transformati...
متن کاملTransformational Design of Business Processes for SOA
By describing business processes in BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) one can make them executable. Then a problem arises how to assure that some non-functional requirements concerning e.g. performance of these processes, are met. In the paper a transformational approach to design of business processes is presented. To check equivalence of business processes resulting from the transfor...
