Abstract

The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) was developed by an international body called the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI). The strengths of BPMN include that it is easily readable and understandable, and could be transformed into the current widely used business process implementation language, the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). However, there are some fundamental incompatibilities between BPMN and BPEL, which make it difficult to generate BPEL code for implementation from BPMN models.The aim of this paper is to investigate the synergic uses of BPMN and BPEL to model and implement executable business processes. To that end, we propose a Business Process Modelling framework. Then we apply it to a real life business process scenario involving a typical manufacturing process in the automotive industry. From the case study, we are able to conclude that BPMN is suitable for modelling business processes and then implementing the model in BPEL in spite of the incompatibilities between the former and the latter.

汽车行业业务流程建模的新设计框架

业务流程建模符号(BPMN)是由一个名为业务流程管理计划(BPMI)的国际组织开发的。BPMN的优势包括它易于阅读和理解，并且可以转换为当前广泛使用的业务流程实现语言，即业务流程执行语言(BPEL)。然而，BPMN和BPEL之间存在一些基本的不兼容性，这使得从BPMN模型生成用于实现的BPEL代码变得困难。本文的目的是研究BPMN和BPEL在建模和实现可执行业务流程方面的协同使用。为此，我们提出了一个业务流程建模框架。然后，我们将其应用于涉及汽车行业中典型制造流程的实际业务流程场景。从案例研究中，我们可以得出这样的结论:BPMN适合于对业务流程建模，然后在BPEL中实现该模型，尽管前者和后者之间存在不兼容性。
