“…In [7], authors present an approach to construct two models from task descriptions to support processes with technologies. One model helps in requirement elicitation and validation by providing prototype like representation and simulation, whereas another model helps to implement IT system according to the requirements to fulfill the gap between task descriptions and actual IT support.…”

Business processes have to adopt the changes driven by the market to remain competitive. This requires improvement of business processes, which can be carried out by understanding the existing business processes. For this AS-IS business process models are built that represent the actual situation of the enterprise. In this paper, we propose an approach to build an AS-IS process model from employee's descriptions instead of instance executions in information systems. We also present an algorithm that builds an AS-IS model from control flow perspective and we further elaborate it with the help of a case study.

This paper presents executable use cases (EUCs), which constitute a model-based approach to requirements engineering. EUCs may be used as a supplement to modeldriven development (MDD) and can describe and link user-level requirements and more technical software specifications. In MDD, user-level requirements are not always explicitly described, since usually it is sufficient that one provides a specification, or platform-independent model, of the software that is to be developed. Therefore, a combination of EUCs and MDD may have potential to cover the path from user-level requirements via specifications to implementations of computer-based systems.

“…CPNs are a well-proven language suitable for modelling of workflows or work processes [3]. Although CPNs are widely studied and successfully applied in modelling of workflows and workflow systems, the lack of semantic representation of CPN components can make business processes difficult to interoperate, share and reuse.…”

Abstract. Coloured Petri Nets (CPNs) have formal semantics and can describe any type of workflow system, behavioral and syntax wise simultaneously. They are widely studied and successfully applied in modelling of workflows and workflow systems. There is an inherent problem regarding business processes modelled with CPNs sharing and subsequently their reuse need to be considered. The Semantic Web technologies, such as ontologies, with their characteristics demonstrate that they can play an important role in this scenario. In this paper, we propose an ontological approach for representing business models in a meta-knowledge base. Firstly, the CPN ontology is defined to represent CPNs with OWL DL. Secondly, we introduce four basic types of manipulation operations on process models used to develop and modify business workflow patterns. To the best of our knowledge, representing business process definitions and business workflow patterns as knowledge based upon ontologies is a novel approach.
