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.

The legacy methods for converting a business model to a feature model make it difficult to support an automatic transformation due to a dependence on a domain analyzers' intuitions, which hinders the feature oriented development for the integration of feature modeling in business modeling. This paper proposes a method for converting a BPMN business model into a feature model based on syntax. To allow the conversion between the heterogeneous models from BPMN to the FM(Feature Model), it defines the grouping mechanism based activities' syntax, and then makes translation rules and a method based on the element (represent business function) and structure (relationships and process among elements), which are common constructs of their models. This method was applied to an online shopping mall system as a case study. With this mechanism, it will help develop a mechanical or automated structure transformation from the BPMN model to the FM.

The service identification in service-oriented developments has been conducted by based on workflow, goals, scenarios, usecases, components, features, and patterns. However, the identification of service by semantic approach at the business value view was not detailed yet. In order to enhance accuracy of identifying business service, this paper proposes a method for identifying business service by analyzing syntax and semantics in XL-BPMN model. The business processes based on business scenario are identified, and they are designed in a XL-BPMN business process model. In this business process model, an unit business service is identified through binding closely related activities by the integrated analysis result of syntax patterns and properties-based semantic similarities between activities. The method through XL-BPMN model at upper business levels can identify the reusable unit business service with high accuracy and modularity. It also can accelerate more service-oriented developments by reusing identified services.

The SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) based softwares are escalated because of quickly coping with business requirement. SOA can not apply to existing test method because of loosely coupled service and massage exchange architecture. In this paper, we suggest a method of test case generation using BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation). First we model processes, then make Business Flow Graph (BFG). After searching the euler path through symmetrized BFG about input and output degrees, we generate test cases. A method of test case generation using BPMN can apply at SOA-based system, and reduce the number of test cases.

The business process management system that can integrate and manage a medical institution's processes has been increased importance to adapt to constantly changing medical environments and share information with various external medical institutions. The business process management system is an automated process tool that converts the graphic-based BPMN process model into a WS-BPEL, the execution language of the web service environment, and executes it through the process engine. However, the BPMN process model can be difficult to convert into WS-BPEL due to several ambiguities and structural inconsistencies. The process model may also contain structural anomalies that can lead to execution errors during process execution. In this paper, we present business process model formalization and structural anomaly verification techniques for facilitating integrated process management in medical institutions. Through the case study based on the IHE profile, we presented a formalized BPMN process model and verify the structural anomalies. We show the superiority of the proposed technique through comparative experiments with other related works.

This paper presents the definition of a business process and a taxonomy of anomalies in BPMN. Graphical modeling is very popular nowadays and is easily understood by various specialists from different fields. Modeling is a graphical representation of processes in an organization using available rules and resources. Therefore, it is important to use a universal and comprehensive standard to describe models of processes, decisions and software. Such a standard is the BPMN notation, which is a precise notation, but unfortunately it is only a descriptive and graphical form that may contain inaccuracies. The aim of this paper is to collect and analyze available literature describing current state of knowledge about BPMN notation and to present problems and shortcomings related to this topic. The paper includes a taxonomy of problems, their definitions and examples of occurrence in real cases.

As a computerized application for controlling enterprise processes, BPM(Business Process Management) has been received such concerns that many solution vendors developed their own process definition and storage methods. The fact causes the needs of process modeling standards for process model exchange and at the same time, requires the appropriate methodology for adopting the global standards. In this paper, we propose a transformation methodology of BPMN-based file into XMI(XML Metadata Interchange)-based neutral file format. We devised translation templates for 21 workflow patterns, and compared the results with BPEL4WS(Business Process Execution Language for Web Services) translation. As a result, our XMI transformation model enables more complete translation of process model in comparison with existing model, and thus can be practically utilized to the BPM vendors adopting BPMN standards.

The early test can greatly reduce the cost of error correction for system development. It is still important in SOA based service system. However, the existing methods of test case generation for SOA have limitations which are restricted to only web service using XML. Therefore, this paper proposes a method of test case generation using BPMN-based model reduction for service system. For minimizing test effort, an existing BPM is transformed into S-BPM which is composed of basic elements of workflow. The process of test case generation starts with making S-BPM concerning the target service system, and transforms the target service system into directed graph. And then, we generate several service scenarios applying scenario searching algorithm and extract message moving information. Applying this method, we can obtain effective test cases which are even unlimited to web service. This result is the generation of test case which is reflected in the business-driven property of SOA.

From 2000s, the development to improve space use of urban area has been requested because of unorganized urban development in 1960~70s. For this reason Urban Redevelopment projects have been changed to urban regeneration project based on the renewed law. Recent urban regeneration Projects are bigger and more complex than ever. These kinds of projects need good communication between projects stakeholders, however there are problems in processing project for the lack of standardized business process. The purpose of this study is to provide common business process of urban regeneration projects for stakeholders to improve understanding project business process through analyzing association way of urban regeneration project and modeling business process by BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) method. And also it is expected to improve communication between stakeholders and to shorten project time through prompting project participation with the proposed business process.

As the Korean construction market in the apartment housing has changed to a housing consumer focused market, interest and importance on efficient use and management on existing buildings has increased rather than demand for new buildings. Interest of housing consumers on apartment house quality has increased in this market paradigm, and this spontaneously is connected to quality flaw related defect disputes and lawsuits that the importance of defect diagnosis has continuously increased. This defect diagnosis is directly connected to maintenance charges in defect dispute and lawsuit processes that rather objective and highly credible progress of duty is required. However, most defect diagnosis firms today that progress defect diagnosis are using different diagnosis methods and depend on the experience of experienced professionals that there is no standardized defect diagnosis process. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide common defect diagnosis process model for defect diagnosis firms utilizing the BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) modeling method. It is expected that this will contribute to professional and reliable task performances of concerned defect diagnosis workers. Furthermore, it is expected that design lawsuit damage will be substantially reduced by standardizing defect diagnosis processes.
