Invigorating Event-driven Process Chains - Towards an integrated meta model for EPC standardization
نویسندگان
چکیده
When deciding about appropriate modelling languages, the degree of standardization often represents an important decision criterion. Although the EPC is commonly used for process modelling in the last decades, the absence of an official standard leads more and more to its nonconsideration. A coherent meta model is a pillar for the specification of process modelling languages. Accordingly, this work builds the basis for further standardization by providing an integrated meta model for the EPC. The resulting meta model therefore supports the invigoration of the EPC by impelling the future standardization effort.

On the de-facto Standard of Event-driven Process Chains: Reviewing EPC Implementations in Process Modelling Tools
Nowadays, most process modelling tools implement popular modelling languages such as the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) or the Event-driven Process Chain (EPC). However, in contrast to BPMN, no effort has yet been undertaken to standardize the EPC language, thus rendering EPCs as being merely a de-facto standard for business process modelling. Subsequently, this paper addresses this...
متن کاملEPC markup language (EPML): an XML-based interchange format for event-driven process chains (EPC)
This article presents an XML-based interchange format for EventDriven Process Chains (EPC) that is called EPC Markup Language (EPML). EPML builds on EPC syntax related work and is tailored to be a serialization format for EPC modelling tools. Design principles inspired by other standardization efforts and XML design guidelines have governed the specification of EPML. After giving an overview of...
متن کاملOn the de-facto Standard of Event-driven Process Chains: How EPC is defined in Literature
The Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) and the Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) are both frequently used modelling languages to create business process models. While there is a well-defined standard for BPMN, such a standard is missing for EPC. As a standard would be beneficial to improve interoperability among different vendors, this paper aims at providing the means for future EPC sta...
متن کاملProcess Orientation and Object-Orientation — An Approach for Integrating UML and Event-Driven Process Chains (EPC)
Event-driven process chains (EPC) are used by many companies for modelling, analysing and redesigning business processes. The resulting EPC models are used as a starting point for the development of information systems and for the definition of workflows. They can be applied for simulation and activity based costing. A major area of application is the implementation of standard software package...
