Extending the EPC and the BPMN with Business Process Goals and Performance Measures
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 conceptually visible. The extensions are based on the metamodels tested with example business processes.

Extending different Business Process Modeling Languages with Domain Specific Concepts: The Case of Internal Controls in EPC and BPMN
Conceptual models of business processes and related business process modeling languages play a crucial role in today’s information systems research and practice. Common BPMLs such as BPMN 2.0 or EPC are widely accepted and applied in various domains. However, such BPMLs provide a set of generic process modeling elements but do not allow for modeling domain specific concepts. This also holds tru...
متن کاملMeasuring Information Content Change in EPC to BPMN Business Process Model Transformation
Business process models are components of efficient and structured management of organizations and enterprises. There are different incentives to model business process in enterprises. Nonetheless, creation and maintenance of business process models requires significant effort by the enterprise or organization in terms of personal resources, time and costs (Tscheschner 2006). Therefore, process...
متن کاملExtending the UML 2 Activity Diagram with Business Process Goals and Performance Measures
The UML 2 Activity Diagram is designed for modelling business processes, but does not yet include any concepts for modelling process goals and their measures. We extend the UML 2 Activity Diagram with process goals and performance measures to make them conceptually visible. Additionally, we provide a mapping to BPEL to make the measures available for execution and monitoring. This profile and i...
متن کاملBusiness process modelling in the context of SOA – an empirical study of the acceptance between EPC and BPMN
The successful introduction and use of service oriented architecture (SOA) is based on its symbiosis with the business process management (BPM). A precisely targeted usage of process modelling is an integral part of BPM. Event-driven process chains (EPC) and the business process modelling notation (BPMN) are the first choice for the process-oriented modelling. Business process execution languag...
متن کاملOn 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...
