Abstract

Goal-oriented business process modeling is driven by the need to ensure congruence of business processes and decisions with the values and vision of the business while meeting continuous demands for increased business productivity. However, existing business process modeling tools fail to address effectiveness and efficiency concerns in an integrated manner. Building upon the previous research by the authors aimed at addressing this gap through integration of process and decision modeling, in this paper, the links between process and decision modeling domains are formalized using a common semantic model that provides the bridge for future development of integrated tools.
