A Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering Method for Business Processes

The field of requirements engineering (RE) for business processes has grown during the last several years. As business processes are needed to fulfil organizational goals, the information captured in goal models provides a basis for designing business processes. Although research has started to explore how to transform goal models into business process models, current transformation methods need further research. This paper proposes a toolsupported method to model goals as part of the business requirements for business processes and to automatically generate business process design skeletons that respond to these business requirements.
