  Abstract

To formally describe business process, many business process languages have been so far specified with different origins and goals such as XPDL, BPML and BPEL4WS. Especially, XPDL proposed by WfMC has been widely used in various business process environments for a long time. On the other hand, the necessity of a standard graphical notation for a business process may create BPMN driven by BPMI. Because BPMN is composed of graphical constructs which can be used to graphically depict business process, BPMN-formed business processes should ultimately be converted to their corresponding semantically equivalent business process language(XPDL). Then, the business process languages can be consequently executed by business process engines. In this paper, we proposed a transformation mechanism from BPMN to XPDL for a business process. By this paper, We minimized the difference between process designers and process execution modules as reducing the gap of semantics between BPMN and XPDL.
