Advantage of BPMN as a tool in conceptual model

Introduction

The improvement of corporate processes has consistently been identified as a top priority of CIOs for the last few years. Organizations are increasingly interested in understanding, managing and improving their process portfolio, and in identifying and quantifying processes with outsourcing potential. The assemblage of tools and procedures to accomplish these objectives is mentioned to as Business Process Management (BPM). The design of innovative processes is guarded by the directions and guidelines an association has to obey with. Business Rules Management (BRM) recounts the identification, delineation, and management of these directions utilising expertise for example Business Rules Management Systems (Charfi, 2004, 66).

Discussion and Analysis

Both process modeling languages and direct modeling dialects offer constructs to comprise enterprise procedures and constraints, but they manage so in distinct ways. While process modeling dialects normally recount a procedural sequence of undertakings, encompassing conclusions and concurrency, direct modeling dialects often depend on a declarative recount of details, situation, and constraints. This position presents an assortment dilemma for associations, and little guidance lives as to which modeling set about is preferable in a specific situation.

Despite an important aim on the evaluation of the representational capability of process modeling dialects, the relative evaluation of direct modeling dialects has obtained substantially less attention. This position is an anxiety because an expanding number of associations are establishing both BPM and BRM solutions. In supplement, a number of - partially overlapping - efforts are progressing to identify benchmark representations for enterprise rules. Comparing and diverging these advances will assist associations choose the most befitting representation for their purposes (Charfi, 2004, 19).

Recent empirical research has recognized representational flaws in process modeling languages. This study has directed to conjecture that enterprise direct modeling dialects might be apt to load up these feeble spots. It is an open inquiry if the two dialect kinds should be utilized in blend, i.e. if the incorporated use of enterprise directions and enterprise process modeling dialects permits associations to better realize, comprise, and advance their operations. Accordingly, there is a require for a rigorous investigation of the two kinds of dialects in alignment to recognize their promise synergies and conflicts.

 

Integration of enterprise directions and enterprise processes

Early work on the integration of enterprise rules and enterprise processes emerged soon after the introduction of the direct modeling concept. Krogstie et al. were the first to propose that enterprise process and direct modeling advances should be amalgamated to advance the arrest of temporal data for Information Systems (IS) development.

They offered a top-down set about for model specification that engages the use of the External Rule Language for specification of process reasoning at the smallest grade of decomposition. McBrien and Seltveit further increased this notion by characterizing the structure of directions inside the process model. Knolmayer et al. refined process modeling and connected the producing models to workflow execution through levels of Reaction Business Rules. Kappel et ...
