Towards Traceability Metamodel for Business Process Modeling Notation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the traceability metamodel for Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and its implementation in Cameo Business Modeler plug-in for MagicDraw. There is no public standard traceability metamodel defined for BPMN yet. We present solutions that we have already applied in practice: we improve the traceability of BPMN models by defining derived properties that are calculated by a modeling tool on the fly. In contrast to other existing solutions, this approach does not require additional efforts from users for defining and maintaining traceability, and does not overload projects with redundant information. Using this approach, CASE tool developers are able to supplement their tools with traceability analysis means allowing users to access traceability information easier, to check completeness and correctness of BPMN models, and to analyze the impact of changes.

Business Process Modeling towards Data Quality Assurance
Data is produced and consumed everyday by information systems, and its inherent quality is a fundamental aspect to operational and support business activities. However, inadequate data quality often causes severe economic and social losses in the organizational context. The problem addressed in this paper is how to assure data quality, both syntactically and semantically, at information entity ...
متن کاملExtending the EPC and the BPMN with Business Process Goals and Performance Measures
The Event-Driven Process Chain (EPC) and the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) are designed for modelling business processes, but do not yet include any means for modelling process goals and their measures, and they do not have a published metamodel. We derive a metamodel for both languages, and extend the EPC and the BPMN with process goals and performance measures to make them concept...
متن کاملPrecise and Formal Metamodeling with the Business Object Notation and PVS
A modeling language consists of both a notation and a metamodel, the latter of which captures the syntactic wellformedness constraints that all valid models must obey. We present two versions of a metamodel for an industrialstrength object-oriented modeling language, BON. The first version of the metamodel, written in BON itself, is intended to give a precise and understandable description of t...
متن کاملFacilitate Modelling Using Method Integration: An Approach Using Mappings and Integration Rules
Conceptual modelling is one of the core disciplines within business informatics. Often, different metamodels have to be integrated to provide project specific or domain specific modelling solutions. This is a challenging task due to the heterogeneity of the modelling languages being assembled. This paper presents an approach for integrating heterogeneous modelling languages in the domain of ent...
متن کاملBusiness Process Service Oriented Methodology (BPSOM) with Service Generation in SoaML
Carrying out business processes by means of software services helps to close the business–systems gap, by introducing an intermediate layer between business process definition and software systems, thus permitting not only better independence, but also more traceability between them. Despite the fact that technologies have matured to support this new reality, there is a lack of methodologies an...
