Abstract

The business based existing BPMN model is a lack of service oriented modeling techniques. Therefore, it requires a layered technique of service oriented business modeling so that can meet the design for a complex application system, developing a system based on SOA. In order to enhance reusability and modularity of BPMN business model, this paper proposes a metamodel and business modeling process based on this metamodel that can hierarchically build a BPMN model. Towards this end, the XL-BPMN metamodel hierarchically established based on MDA and MVS styles are first defined. Then a BPMN service modeling process is constructed based on modeling elements of this metamodel according to the modeling phases. Finally, the result of a case study in which the proposed method is applied to an online shopping mall system is discussed. With the use of well-defined metamodel and modeling process, it is hoped that it can be shown that a service dominated and layered BPMN business model can be established, and that the modularity and reusability of the constructed BPMN business model can be maximized.

업무에 초점을 둔 BPMN 모델은 서비스 지향 비즈니스 모델링에 한계점을 안고 있다. 이에, SOA 기반의 시스템 개발을 위해 서비스 수준에서 복잡한 응용 시스템을 디자인할 수 있는 서비스 지향의 비즈니스 모델링 기법이 요구된다. 본 논문은 BPMN 비즈니스 모델의 모듈성과 재사용성을 향상시키기 위해, 서비스 지향으로 BPMN 모델을 계층적으로 구축할 수 있는 메타모델과 이에 기반한 비즈니스 모델링 프로세스를 제시한다. 이를 위해, BPMN 모델의 모델링 요소들을 MDA와 MVC 패턴에 의해 계층화하고 서비스 지향의 모델링을 위한 확장된 XL-BPMN 메타모델을 정의한다. 이 메타모델의 모델링 요소를 이용해서, 모델링 단계에 의한 BPMN 서비스 모델링 프로세스를 정립한다. 이 기법은 온라인쇼핑몰시스템의 비즈니스 모델링에 사례로서 적용되고 평가되어진다. 잘 정의된 메타모델과 모델링 프로세스를 통해, 서비스 중심의 BPMN 비즈니스 모델을 생성할 수 있고, BPMN 모델의 모듈성을 증진시킬 수 있으며, 또한 독립적으로 재사용 가능한 모델의 수를 극대화할 수 있다.
