基于Petri网的企业业务流程集成的研究

Research on Business Process Integration Based on Petri Net

传统的业务流程集成过程包含五个主要的步骤——业务流程集成建模、仿真、执行、监控和优化。这五个步骤组成了一个闭环,以期达到最佳的集成效果。虽然这个步骤已经得到广泛应用,但还是存在着一些不足。文章将上面提到的业务流程集成步骤与层次Petri网理论结合起来,提出了一个改进的业务流程集成步骤。这个步骤可以解决原步骤中执行周期长、消耗大的问题。同时,着重论述了其中的一个主要步骤——业务流程集成建模,这也为业务流程集成在实际项目中的应用奠定了理论基础。

Traditional business process integration procedure includes five main steps which are integration modeling, integration simulation, integration execution, integration monitoring and integration optimization. These steps form a closed loop which can achieve optimal outcome. Though the procedure has been applied by some corporations, it still has some limitation in practice. This paper combines the procedure mentioned above with hierarchical Petri net to in- troduce a new procedure of business process integration which is used to solve the problem of long lifecycle and great expense of the traditional integration procedure. Meanwhile, the paper also focuses on the core step of this integration procedure-business process integration modeling in detail, which will provide theoretical basis for the practice.
