A Language and Methodology based on Scenarios, Grammars and Views, for Administrative Business Processes Modelling

[摘要] In Business Process Management (BPM), process modelling has been solved in various ways.However, there are no commonly accepted modelling tools (languages). Some of them are criticized for their inability to capture both the lifecycle, informational and organizational models ofprocesses. For some others, process modelling is generally done using a single graph; this does notfacilitate modularity, maintenance and scalability. In addition, some of these languages are verygeneral; hence, their application to specific domain processes (such as administrative processes)is very complex. In this paper, we present a new language and a new methodology, dedicated toadministrative process modelling. This language is based on a variant of attributed grammars andis able to capture the lifecycle, informational and organizational models of such processes. Also, itproposes a simple graphical formalism allowing to model each process’s execution scenario as anannotated tree (modularity). In the new language, a particular emphasis is put on modelling (using"views") the perceptions that actors have on processes and their data.
