Abstract:
A business cannot be competitive unless its business process is aligned with its information system. Indeed, a perfect alignment is key to a coherent management and success of the business. Therefore, it is important to bring closer business process- and IS modeling activities. The current paper presents an approach to derive a dynamic software model from a business process model, including the trace links between source and target elements. Our approach is based on a set of rules that transform a BPMN business process model into a UML sequence diagram structured according to the model view controller design pattern, and a trace model. To show the feasibility of approach in the practice, we developed a tool that implements the transformation rules.
