Research On Control-Flow Configurable Process Modeling Technical For BPMN

Reference models can solve a certain degree of reuse in the field of business process, however, its big and fat model make the costs higher in terms of artificial clipping and waste process model. Configurable model propose on the basis of a reference model, can effectively improve the efficiency of the process model reuse solution. The purpose of this paper is to abstract a configurable process modeling language from the meta-meta-model based on BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) language. This thesis research from the time latitude, space latitude, environment latitude for BPMN language extensions. And this thesis will focus on the time latitude and space latitude research on BPMN control flow. The thesis adopts the method of formal definition, completely formal BPMN language, propose a C-BPMN language according with its core control flow execution semantic.BPMN, a standard for business process modeling and a mainstream language being widely adopted in practice, lacks the configurable modeling capability. In this paper, we propose an extension to BPMN to support configurable process modeling with a focus on control-flow perspective. Using configurable workflow net as the theoretical foundation, we formally define the semantics of the proposed extension to BPMN, its correctness-preserving conditions, and its configuration semantics. We name the resulting language Configurable BPMN, i.e. C-BPMN, and provide a running example to illustrate how C-BPMN supports configurable process modeling as well as process configuration.
