Business Process Modeling using artifact-centric approach has gained increasing interest over the past few years. The ability to put data and process aspects on an equal footing has made it a powerful tool for efficient business process modeling. The artifact-centric approach is based on key business-relevant entities called business artifacts, which are central for guiding business operations as they navigate through the business operations. The artifact-centric modeling approach can be laid in a four dimensional framework called BALSA for defining business processes, where the four dimensions include business artifacts, lifecycles, services and associations. Based on this data-centric paradigm, several artifact-centric meta-models have been emerged in the recent years. Although all the proposed models claim to support the artifact-centric approach, their support in specifying the BALSA elements of artifacts was not clearly described in the existing literature. This paper reviews all existing approaches to artifact-centric modeling and also discuss to what extent they align with the BALSA framework.

“…Different variants of logic are used in [26,11,12,29,30,27,31] for this purpose. [28,5] omit the preconditions. The use of logic implies that the definition of services is precise, formal and unambiguous, but it is hardly understandable by the people involved in the business process.…”

“…Currently, several alternatives have been proposed to model artifact-centric business processes, such as Guard-Stage-Milestone (GSM) models [4,5,6], BPMN with data [7] or PHILharmonic Flows [8], to mention a few examples. However, as we will see, these approaches either do not use the same language to represent all the dimensions or the chosen representation is not graphical -it is often based on some variant of logic -making the models difficult to understand.…”

Abstract. In recent years, the artifact-centric approach to process modeling has attracted a lot of attention. One of the research lines in this area is finding a suitable way to represent the dimensions in this approach. Bearing this in mind, this paper proposes a way to specify artifact-centric business process models by means of well-known UML diagrams, from a high-level of abstraction and with a technology-independent perspective. UML is a graphical language, widely used and with a precise semantics.
