Transformation of Use Cases to EPC Models.

Abstract

Abstract: Within the requirements phase of many projects, functional requirements are often documented as Use Cases. Within SOA projects, however, these Use Cases are not sufficient since they do not represent a global control flow resembling the one of a business process- an integral aspect of a SOA. Instead they are written from the point of view of a single actor. This makes an additional step necessary: Converting the Use Cases to business processes, which is – if done manually – a tremendous task. To reduce this effort wasted on conversion, this paper proposes a method for generating business processes – expressed as EPC – as from Use Cases. Thereby, the need for extensive business process modelling after gathering the requirements is eliminated. 1
