Abstract

A web-based information system, that is a dominant type of information systems, suffers from the “web crisis” in development and maintenance of the system. To cope with the problem, a technology of reengineering to web-based business process, which is one of web engineering, is strongly needed. In this paper, we propose a BPN(Business Process Net) model and reengineering guides along with an application example, which are used for modeling web-based business processes and migrating to web-based information system. BPN model is a type of not only a Beta-distributed stochastics Petri net, but also an executable Activity diagram. BPN is modeled by using the Use Case analysis method and the Beta-distribution. The later is used for the purpose of modeling the uncertainty of execution time and cost of a business process. BPN model and reengineering heuristics might be used as a formal common model for business process specification languages, and analysis and design method for Web-based Information system, respectively.

최근의 대부분의 정보시스템은 웹 기반 정보시스템이며 이의 개발과 유지보수시에 “웹 위기” 현상이 발생하고 있다 이를 해결하기 위해, 웹 엔지니어링 기술 중 웹 기반 비즈니스 프로세스로의 리엔지니어링 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 웹 기반 정보시스템으로의 이주와 웹 기반 비즈니스 프로세스 모형화를 위한, BPN(Business Process Net) 모형과 이를 이용한 리엔지니어링 휴리스틱스를 적용 예와 함께 제시한다. BPN모형은 베타분포형 확률 패트리넷이며 수행가능형 Activity diagram이라 할 수 있다. BPN을 모형화 할 때, Use Case 분석을 이용하며 비즈니스 프로세스의 수행시간 및 비용적 불확실성은 베타분포를 이용하고 있다. BPN 모형은 XML 기반의 비즈니스 프로세스의 명세언어를 위한 공통 명세모형으로 이용될 수 있으며, 제시한 리엔지니어링 방법 및 지침은 웹 기반 정보시스템의 분석 및 설계단계에서 적용할 수 있다.
