The business based existing BPMN model is a lack of service oriented modeling techniques. Therefore, it requires a layered technique of service oriented business modeling so that can meet the design for a complex application system, developing a system based on SOA. In order to enhance reusability and modularity of BPMN business model, this paper proposes a metamodel and business modeling process based on this metamodel that can hierarchically build a BPMN model. Towards this end, the XL-BPMN metamodel hierarchically established based on MDA and MVS styles are first defined. Then a BPMN service modeling process is constructed based on modeling elements of this metamodel according to the modeling phases. Finally, the result of a case study in which the proposed method is applied to an online shopping mall system is discussed. With the use of well-defined metamodel and modeling process, it is hoped that it can be shown that a service dominated and layered BPMN business model can be established, and that the modularity and reusability of the constructed BPMN business model can be maximized.

To formally describe business process, many business process languages have been so far specified with different origins and goals such as XPDL, BPML and BPELAWS. Especially, XPDL proposed by WfMC has been widely used in various business process environments for a long time. On the other hand, the necessity of a standard graphical notation for a business process may create BPMN driven by BPMI. Because BPMN is composed of graphical constructs which can be used to graphically depict business process, BPMN-formed business processes should ultimately be converted to their corresponding semantically equivalent business process language(XPDL). Then, the business process languages can be consequently executed by business process engines. In this paper, we proposed a transformation mechanism from BPMN to XPDL for a business process. By this paper, We minimized the difference between process designers and process execution modules as reducing the gap of semantics between BPMN and XPDL.

BPMN은 비즈니스 프로세스를 모델링하는 표기법으로써 시각화된 플로우차트를 통해 일반화된 형식으로 비즈니스 프로세스를 정의할 수 있게 해준다. 이와 반대로 XPDL은 비즈니스 프로세스를 실행하는 언어로써 이 언어를 지원하는 시스템을 통해 비즈니스 프로세스를 실행시킬 수 있게 해준다. 그러므로 BPMN으로 모델링한 비즈니스 프로세스가 XPDL을 지원하는 실행시스템을 통해 실행되기 일해서는 BPMN 형식의 비즈니스 프로세스를 XPDL 비즈니스 프로세스로 변환하여야 한다. 그러나 이들은 각기 다른 기반과 목적에 따라 정의되었기 때문에 서로의 요소간의 표현하는 방식에 차이가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 BPMN 형식의 비즈니스 프로세스를 XPDL 비즈니스 프로세스로 변환하는 기법을 제안한다.

The service identification in service-oriented developments has been conducted by based on workflow, goals, scenarios, usecases, components, features, and patterns. However, the identification of service by semantic approach at the business value view was not detailed yet. In order to enhance accuracy of identifying business service, this paper proposes a method for identifying business service by analyzing syntax and semantics in XL-BPMN model. The business processes based on business scenario are identified, and they are designed in a XL-BPMN business process model. In this business process model, an unit business service is identified through binding closely related activities by the integrated analysis result of syntax patterns and properties-based semantic similarities between activities. The method through XL-BPMN model at upper business levels can identify the reusable unit business service with high accuracy and modularity. It also can accelerate more service-oriented developments by reusing identified services.

The legacy methods for converting a business model to a feature model make it difficult to support an automatic transformation due to a dependence on a domain analyzers' intuitions, which hinders the feature oriented development for the integration of feature modeling in business modeling. This paper proposes a method for converting a BPMN business model into a feature model based on syntax. To allow the conversion between the heterogeneous models from BPMN to the FM(Feature Model), it defines the grouping mechanism based activities' syntax, and then makes translation rules and a method based on the element (represent business function) and structure (relationships and process among elements), which are common constructs of their models. This method was applied to an online shopping mall system as a case study. With this mechanism, it will help develop a mechanical or automated structure transformation from the BPMN model to the FM.

BPMN(Business Process Modeling Notation)은 BPMI(Business Process Management Initiative)에서 발표한 것으로서 비즈니스 프로세스 모델링을 위한 표준 표기법이다. BPMN은 표준 모델링 표기법 이므로 다른 모델링 표기법을 익히는데 사용되는 시간을 줄이며 IT 및 비즈니스 사용자들 간의 의사소통을 증진시킬 수 있다. 이에 대응하여 WfMC(The Workflow Management Coalition)는 XPDL 매핑작업을 시도하여 BPMN을 XPDL로 표현할 수 있도록 하였고, 그 결과 BPMN에 매핑시킨 XPDL2.0을 발표하였다. 본 논문에서 설계한 모델링 시스템은 표준 표기법인 BPMN을 통하여 모델링을 하고 그 결과를 국제 표준화 워크풀로우 정의 언어인 XPDL2.0으로 제공하는 워크플로우 모델링시스템을 제안하여 다른 워크플로우 시스템들과의 상호 호환성을 제공하는 것이며, 역할 기반의 모델링 방식으로 복잡한 모델링 작업을 단순화 시킬 수 있다. 즉, 워크플로우 모델링 기능에 실시간 그룹웨어 특성들을 통합하여, 한 차원 높은 수준의 모델링 환경제공을 통하여 기존의 워크플로우 시스템들이 지원하지 못 했던 워크플로우 모델링 협동 작업을 실시간으로 지원 할 수 있을 문만 아니라, 요즘과 같이 대형화와 복잡화 그리고 다양화의 특징을 갖는 조직들의 워크플로우 들에 대한 효율적인 분석 및 모델링 환경을 제공하기 위한 워크플로우 모델링 시스템을 제안한다.

The SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) based softwares are escalated because of quickly coping with business requirement. SOA can not apply to existing test method because of loosely coupled service and massage exchange architecture. In this paper, we suggest a method of test case generation using BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation). First we model processes, then make Business Flow Graph (BFG). After searching the euler path through symmetrized BFG about input and output degrees, we generate test cases. A method of test case generation using BPMN can apply at SOA-based system, and reduce the number of test cases.

As the current trend in e-business has led to more various and complex business processes in recent years, problems in business process models have increased gradually. Accordingly, the concern to validation of business process models has been much larger but there are few validation checking mechanisms supported so far. On the other hand BPMN driven by BPMI is a standard graphical notation. Using the tool supporting BPMN, business process can be modeled graphically and analyzed easily. In this paper, we present technical mechanisms which can efficiently detect anomalies in a process composed of BPMN and are capable of avoiding higher unexpected costs during runtime.

BPMN is a standard business process description notation developed by OMG. It allows the user to have an abstract view of a process that hides its details with the Collapsed Sub-Process notation. While it is a useful direction of abstraction that can be called the horizontal abstraction, a different kind of abstraction, the vertical abstraction, is necessary when different stakeholders of business would like to have different views of the business process form their own viewpoints of interest. For example, stakeholders may want to see a process from the viewpoint of a particular group of actors or from the viewpoint of a certain set of goals. This paper first extends horizontal abstraction capability of BPMN by introducing the notion of super edge and, moreover, adds the vertical abstraction capability to it by introducing the notions of 'aspect attribute' and 'interest specification' and notations for them.

The business process management system that can integrate and manage a medical institution's processes has been increased importance to adapt to constantly changing medical environments and share information with various external medical institutions. The business process management system is an automated process tool that converts the graphic-based BPMN process model into a WS-BPEL, the execution language of the web service environment, and executes it through the process engine. However, the BPMN process model can be difficult to convert into WS-BPEL due to several ambiguities and structural inconsistencies. The process model may also contain structural anomalies that can lead to execution errors during process execution. In this paper, we present business process model formalization and structural anomaly verification techniques for facilitating integrated process management in medical institutions. Through the case study based on the IHE profile, we presented a formalized BPMN process model and verify the structural anomalies. We show the superiority of the proposed technique through comparative experiments with other related works.
