“…As IS are becoming more complicated, they require applying several models [7] to describe business processes. Business process modelling and business rules modelling approaches are considered to complement each other [3] in order to have the comprehensive representation of a problem domain. There are many ways of how business processes and business rules could be used together.…”

As the success of information system projects and their development also relies on the knowledge of domain experts, the modelled processes should be presented to them for validation purposes before the implementation stage. Domain experts do not have the knowledge of business process modelling notations. Therefore, the validation may not be correct. However, they better understand structured natural language, such as SBVR that defines the meaning of business concepts and make them unambiguously understandable by human experts and also by software systems. The solution presented in this paper allows transforming BPMN 2.0 business process models into SBVR business vocabularies and business rules. This solution is implemented as a plug-in and is available in the MagicDraw CASE tool. An experimental evaluation of the proposed solution with three domain areas proved that SBVR business vocabulary and business rules could be fully obtained from BPMN 2.0 business process model when certain requirements for BPMN 2.0 business process model are met. The advantages of the solution are an automatic transformation for various BPMN modelling situations, tracing links between two models in one modelling environment and avoidance of necessity to use linguistic techniques.

“…As the survey [4] showed, one of the highlight deficits of BPMN is related with the business rules as an extension of BPMN. There is a need to combine business process modelling and business vocabulary and business rules modelling approaches as they kept complementary each other [11]. SBVR (Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules) [22], [23] is an OMG (Object Management Group) standard for business vocabulary and business rules modelling.…”

The goal of the paper is to define naming patterns for BPMN2 events in order to process them differently to obtain the most complete and semantically correct SBVR business vocabulary and business rules as possible. The paper presents BPMN2 events and their representation in SBVR as a separate part of BPMN2 business process models transformation to SBVR business vocabulary and rules. As different BPMN2 events present different process behavior, they should be analyzed and processed separately to have full and comprehensive set of SBVR business vocabulary and business rules as they present terms, restrictions and business logic in organizations. Running example is presented for a better understanding. Overall approach recently has become available in UML CASE tool MagicDraw after implementing SBVR plugin based on UML profile for SBVR. The approach was implemented using QVT transformation language.

“…It was also empirically proven that the effect of linked rules improved business process model understanding (better time efficiency in interpreting business operations, less mental effort, improved accuracy of understanding) (Wang et al 2017). Although rules should describe business knowledge in a formalized way that can be further automated (Nalepa and Lige ¸za 2005), there is no common understanding how process and rule models should be structured in order to be integrated (Hohwiller et al 2011). There is also no formalized model that combines processes with rules and ensures data types consistency, i.e.…”

Business Processes describe the ways in which operations are carried out in order to accomplish the intended objectives of organizations. A process can be depicted using a modeling notation, such as Business Process Model and Notation. Process model can also describe operational aspects of every task; but in a properly designed model, the detailed aspects of low-level logic should be delegated to external services, especially to a Business Rule Engine. Business Rules support the specification of knowledge in a declarative manner and can be successfully used for specification of details for process tasks and events. However, there is no unified model of process integrated with rules that ensures data types consistency. Thus, the paper presents a formal description of the integration of Business Processes with Business Rules. We provide a general model for such integration as well as the model applied to a specific rule representation from the Semantic Knowledge Engineering approach.
