Abstract
The current way of specifying Action Rules in the Design and Engineering Methodology for Organizations (DEMO) is ambiguous and leads to incomplete specifications that do not contain enough ontological information so that we can more systematically convert DEMO models to comprehensive Business Process Management and Notation (BPMN). With our proposal we now can specify – still at an ontological level – much more needed details and essential information for a more complete and close to automatic generation of BPMN models. Action rules are also the perfect spot to already specify functional and implementation requirements for the information systems supporting the Workflow Management System running such BPMN models. Thus we also contribute to bridge the huge gap between DEMO models and important implementation issues that arise at design time and should immediately be specified together with ontological elements.
