Abstract

Business process analysis is an essential tool to assess how well a business is meeting its goals. However, the process analysis phase may fail in some cases because it focuses either on the data perspective and ignores business activities, or on the functional and behavioral perspectives of the business process and overlooks the data. Indeed, traditional analysis approaches are based on models that do not represent all of these business process perspectives together. Recently, Entity-Centric Modeling has been proposed as a promising approach for the design of business processes based on so-called business entities. It aims to bring together business goals, business operations and business data in a natural way. In this paper, we propose a method to design an enterprise view based on business entities in order to bring together data and processes in a coherent and consistent way. The constructed view provides for an integrated analysis of data and processes. Our method takes as input a domain class diagram of the enterprise information system and a BPMN model representing its business process model, and it constructs a business entity model using the Guard-Stage-Milestone (GSM) language.
