A Meta-model for a Language for Business Process Characterizing Modelling

  • Conference paper

Abstract

In this paper, a meta-model for the business process characterizing model (BPCM) is defined. The defined meta-model, mainly capturing the syntax and semantics of the business process charactrizing model, is intended to guide the development of business process support systems. In addition, the relation between the SCOR model and the class process in the BPCM meta-model is addressed. Furthermore, the mapping from the BPCM meta-model to BPMN meta-model in a combined framework for developing business process support systems is depicted.
