Abstract

Business processes are an integral part of service-oriented architecture. A typical business process spans multiple Use Cases. Use case diagram along with activity diagrams represents the behavior of a design in the analysis phase for an object-oriented system. In this paper, we propose a relational model, "Formalized Analysis Model to Business Process (FAM2BP)" for transformation of Formalized Analysis Model (FAM) of object-oriented systems into BPMN process for SOA application. FAM consists of a set of grammar based formalized Use case and Activity diagram elements of UML. FAM2BP propose some rules that will help the designer to generate business processes for SOA application directly from object oriented analysis models. This model would help in evolution of software design and development paradigms from Object Oriented to Service Oriented systems.
