一种目标感知的可配置业务流程分析方法

A Goal-Aware Analytical Method of Configurable Business Process

可配置业务流程模型能够使得在不同的组织之间以可控的方式共享公共流程成为可能,这种模型旨在通过配置满足特定组织的需求,派生出个性化的流程.流程配置由于其配置决策之间的各种依赖关系而变成异常困难,因此,对其进行形式化建模和验证是一个非常重要的问题.由于目标模型能够良好的表达用户需求意图的特点,本文提出一个基于目标感知的可配置业务流程分析方法,这种方法是通过将目标关联到WF-net(即GWF-net),将用户需求意图与业务流程模型进行整合;然后通过增加配置操作将用GWF-net表达的业务流程模型转换成可配置业务流程模型;最后,分析这种可配置业务流程的逻辑结构的正确性并提出用户需求与可配置业务流程配置过程中的一致性定理,为分析与验证在目标约束下可配置业务流程提供一种行为有效的方法.

Configurable business process model enable the sharing of common processes among different organizations in a controlled manner,this model is intended to be configured to meet the requirements of specific organizations,then leading to individualized process models,so it is important issue to formal modeling and verify for configurable business process model.Ow ing to the characteristic of goal model can express users＇ intentions,in this paper,w e provide a novel analytical method of configurable business process model w hich based on the goal model,in this method,w e add the goal model to WF-net（ GWF-net） and incorporate users＇ intentions into business process model; follow ing,w e transform the ordinary business process model expressed by GWF-net into configurable business process model by adding the configuration operation; finally,presents its correctness analysis of configurable GWF-net and provide the consistency theorem betw een the users＇ requirements and configuration procedure of configurable business process model,so that w e ensure the validation of business process model through the fulfill goal.
