BPMN is a leading visual notation for modeling Business Processes. Although it can be efficiently used for modeling workflow structures, it is not suitable for modeling the low-level logic of particular tasks in the process. Recently, Business Rules have been used for this purpose. Such rules are often specified in natural language and in an informal way. In this paper, we consider an approach ...

Business processes evolve throughout their lifecycle of change. Business Process Modeling (BPM 2 ) notations such as BPMN are used to effectively conceptualize and communicate important process characteristics to relevant stakeholders. Agent-oriented conceptual modeling notations, such as i*, effectively capture and communicate organizational context. In this paper we argue that the management ...

Imperative process languages, such as BPMN, describe business processes in terms of collections of activities and control flows among them. Despite their popularity, such languages remain useful mostly for structured processes whose flow of activities is well-known and does not vary greatly. For unstructured processes, on the other hand, the verdict is still out as to the best way to represent ...

This work presents a method to bridge the gap between intentional process modeling and business process modeling. The first represent the business objectives of an enterprise and the strategies used in order to achieve these objectives, while the second concentrate on the business processes. The proposed method uses MAP as an intentional modeling language and Business Process Modeling Notation ...

While the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is the de facto standard for modeling business processes on a conceptual level, YAWL allows the specification of executable workflow models. A transformation between these two languages enables the integration of different levels of abstraction in process modeling. This paper discusses the transformation of BPMN diagrams to YAWL nets and prese...

The paper concerns selected rule modularization techniques. Three visual methods for inference specification for modularized rulebases are described: Drools Flow, BPMN and XTT2. Drools Flow is a popular technology for workflow or process modeling, BPMN is an OMG standard for modeling business processes, and XTT2 is a hierarchical tabular system specification method. Because of some limitations ...

It is common in organizational contexts and in law to apply a decision-scope approach to decision making. Higher organization levels set a decision scope within which lower organization levels may operate. In case of conflict the regulations and rules of a higher level (e.g. European Union) take precedence over those of a lower level (e.g. a member state). This approach can also be beneficially...

This paper investigates the suitability and sufficincy of BPMN language in business process modelling. Production logistics system is modeled at the highest domain level using case study in car component industry to examine the language in every aspect. Modelling is carried out in a modular basis for three main sub-systems generally using BPMN 2.0. Complementary use of other modeling tool to co...

In 2008 the Object Management Group (OMG) released an RFI on “dynamic business activity modeling”. The need to model case management processes was the primary motivation towards this RFI. Several vendors of business process management systems (BPMS) have expressed interest in standardization of case management modeling. Cordys, a vendor of a BPMS platform, based on service oriented architecture...

Business process modeling and implementation of process supporting infrastructures are two challenging tasks which are not fully aligned. On the one hand, languages such as Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) exist to capture business processes at the level of domain analysis. On the other hand, programming paradigms and technologies such as Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) and web servic...
