Business process modelling: Coarse to fine grain mapping using metamodels

Khan, Zaheer; Odeh, Mohammed

Abstract

One of the key objectives of Business Process Modelling
is to better understand and visualise business processes in
order to improve and/or enact them in some IT
infrastructure. This modelling perspective becomes more
complicated and challenging with the expansion of
businesses across geographical boundaries. Further, this
necessitates finding technological solutions to execute
agile business processes. And, in an effort to enact
business process models using distributed technologies,
we present a novel framework for translating business
processes modelled using Role Activity Diagramming
into generic meta-representation with the objective to
access, customize and integrate the modelling constructs
with functional and non-functional processing artefacts.
In this regard we present meta-models to translate coarse
to fine grained process model and provide their relevant
implementation as a step towards bridging the gap
between Business Process Models and Grid-based Service
Oriented Architectures (BPMSOA).
