Abstract

Until now, a variety of the standard and research activities are progressed in the business process management. However, since the common standard of the collaboration process language has not been determined, the research activities could not be well-systemized. We would present the guide-line to select and use the collaboration process language straightly through comparing different collaboration process languages (BPEL4WS, BPML, WSCI, WS-CDL, BPSS, etc). In this regard, we define the implicit and the explicit collaboration as the collaboration method in advance and present the result acquired according to compare and analyze the features of the collaboration process languages. First, the necessary elements the collaboration process languages have are extracted through the framework of the inter-organizational workflow proposed by Bernauer and the collaboration process modeling procedure(CPMP). Second, we analyze the properties of the collaboration process language based the essential elements. Finally, we show the complete example that the collaboration business process really reflects the characteristics of the collaboration business process languages

지금까지 비즈니스 프로세스 관리에 대한 표준 및 다양한 연구 활동들이 수행되어 왔다. 하지만 아직 범용적인 협업 프로세스 언어 표준이 규정되어 있지 않은 상태이기 때문에, 관련 연구 활동들이 체계적이지 못한 면이 있다. 본 연구는 대표적인 협업 프로세스 언어들(BPEL4WS, BPML, WSCI, WS-CDL, BPSS 등)의 비교 분석을 통하여 협업 프로세스 언어를 올바르게 선택하고 활용하는 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 본 논문에서는 먼저 협업 방식에 따라 암시적 협업과 명시적 협업을 정의하고 세 단계의 순차적인 방법론에 따라 협업 프로세스언어들의 특징을 비교 분석한 결과를 제시한다. 첫 번째 단계로, Bernauer가 제안한 협업 환경의 프레임워크와 협업 프로세스 모델링 절차에 따라 협업 프로세스 언어가 가져야 할 필수 요소를 추출한다. 두 번째 단계로, 추출된 필수 요소를 기반으로 협업 프로세스 언어들의 특징을 분석한다 마지막으로 협업 프로세스 언어들의 특징을 반영하여 실제 비즈니스 프로세스를 구성하는 완전한 예제를 제시한다.
