Bridging the Gap between Different Interfaces for Business Process Modeling
The paper focuses on the benefits of business process
modeling. Although this discipline is developing for many years,
there is still necessity of creating new opportunities to meet the ever
increasing users’ needs. Because one of these needs is related to the
conversion of business process models from one standard to another,
the authors have developed a converter between BPMN and EPC
standards using workflow patterns as intermediate tool. Nowadays
there are too many systems for business process modeling. The
variety of output formats is almost the same as the systems
themselves. This diversity additionally hampers the conversion of the
models. The presented study is aimed at discussing problems due to
differences in the output formats of various modeling environments.
