The modeling of business processes is key component of any improvement or re-engineering endeavor. Present trends of business modeling methodologies are to include the social context of an organization. Although various methodologies have been developed specially for the business process field and have a social context, it is not in terms of goals and customers, but processes, activities, and tasks. We describe our stance on business process modeling, based on the viewpoint of goal and customer. First, we formalize a goal-oriented business process model and its evaluation mechanism. Second, we propose a methodology of business process modeling, which starts from perceiving and describing interactions between organization and customer from the customer's viewpoint.

Business organizations are asked to create new business models utilizing current technological innovations such as ubiquitous computing technology for developing new domains of business to obtain a competitive advantage and achieve a sustainable development. This study was focused on the processes for developing new and practical business models. The purpose of this study was to propose ubiquitous sport business modeling processes from the modeling framework. In particular, this study focused on developing new, pragmatic, and effective sport business models, and this new type of business is defined as 'u-sport.' For design the business model, extensive literature reviews and case studies were conducted for benchmarking the cases and expert group review was conducted for developing u-sport business model framework. The suggested business modeling processes in this study were consisted of four phases; 1) organization strategy level setting phase, 2) business strategy level setting phase, 3) business structure level setting phase, and 4) service level setting phase. The modeling processes were verified to adapt ubiquitous sport business. This designing and modeling process is expected to play a significant role on enhancing the technology-based business environments as the process mainly focuses on the service and consumer oriented approach rather than technology and suppliers oriented approach. In conclusion, establishing sport business models by adapting the service modeling process will deliver an exponential growth and development of future ubiquitous based industry.

Recently, due to the popularity of object-oriented programming languages, object-oriented modeling and development methodologies become widely applied to information system development. When object-oriented methodology is adopted, using object-oriented modeling languages for business analysis and redesign has the advantages such that business modeling results can be easily understood and referred by information system developers. In this paper, UML-B, Unified Modeling Language extension for Business modeling is proposed, which uses UML notation for modeling organization structure, actors, use cases, business processes, and entities in business systems. It also utilizes extension mechanisms of UML to facilitate business modeling activities, and supports business process reengineering with object-oriented modeling.

Business Process is a set of interrelated business functions, which are defined by various business process rule and that will lead a company to accomplishing a specific organizational goal. Many business organizations are using process modeling methods for their business process management, but mostly these methods are accomplished by Human-Based activities. These human-based activities cause unexpected design anomalies in modeling phase. If process engine executed without design anomalies detection, that will be lead to huge loss on costs. To ensure that there is no design anomalies in modeling phase and to detect anomalies of predefined actions within modeling tools are important issues in business process management. In this paper, we provide specific types of design anomalies, which can effectively use to detect design anomalies in business process modeling phase.

As eTransformation and collaborative eCommerce have been on the rise, business processes between business partners are increasingly recognized as important assets that need to be integrated. These trends imply more complex and dynamic business processes should be considered in order to integrate related business organizations and business units. Moreover, these business processes are widely distributed across stakeholders. Therefore, there is a need for business process modeling that is usable, flexible and capable of integrating systems consistently across businesses and technology barriers. In this paper, a business process modeling methodology is introduced, which is based on top­do\W and model-driven approach utilizing OMG's MDA(Model-Driven Architecture) and UML profile for EDOC(Enterprise Distributed Object Computing). This provides the ability to model business process at all levels simultaneously, to combine business process models retaining their meaning, to use business process design patterns constraining the behavior of sub-processes, and to derive specific codes from a stable model as the underlying infrastructure shifts over time. In addition, we suggest some modifications of the meta-model for EDOC-Business Process Profile by adding new features in order to model business processes rigidly. This paper illustrates some examples of business process modeling and compares them with UML diagrams and IDEF models. The proposed methodology is implemented to develop a business process modeling tool.

To execute business collaborations, the business process specification is required and it is generated from the business process model. ebXML, which is the XML-based B2B standard framework for organizations over the Internet, recommends process analyst and modeler to use UN/CEFACT Modeling Methodology for modeling. All the artifacts of the modeling and transformed results between different business models may be registered in the business library for the share and re-use. In this paper, we implement the business process modeler including built-in registry client. It provides not only modeling the business process but also generating the specifications, exporting the metadata about the business model, and registering in the business library.

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.

A business process specification (BPS) plays the role of a contracted business scenario in the execution of the B2B business process instances. XML-based specification languages, such as BPSS, WS-BPEL, etc., are usually adopted for the specifications. However, composing complex XML-based specifications are not easy for humans. As an alternative, graphical modeling languages such as UML and BPMN can be employed. This paper presents an UML-based modeling method for graphically specifying ebXML BPSS instances (namely, business process specifications). UML diagrams, directly matching with ebXML BPSS, can be reused for understanding and generating ebXML BPSS instances. We discuss the value of tile method by developing a business reference library in the area of supply chain management.

Electronic payment continuously increases in B2B trade, there by encouraging active development of information systems which support e-payment mechanisms. In this situation the information systems are supposed to implement various forms of e-payment mechanisms, and provide standard modeling functionalities for e-payment processes. In this paper we assess business process modeling methods for the purpose of e-payment mechanism modeling, and suggest guidelines for e-payment mechanism modeling. The results can be used as a good guideline to business process modeling of e-payment mechanisms.
