Automated transformation of business rules specification to business processes : from SBVR to BPMN
Résumé
This paper presents a novel approach for transforming Business Rules expressed with Semantic of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) into (BPMN) Business Process models. This transformation provides several benefits to Information System project stakeholders, such as: enhancing requirement validation and refinement, improving Business Processes documentation, and reducing their overall modeling effort. To bridge the gap between SBVR and BPMN, we propose novel transformation rules that cover structural and behavioral SBVR rules. We illustrate and discuss our transformations with the EU-Rent case study, provided in the OMG specification.
