Process Modeling using UML

Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a widely adopted object-oriented modeling standard, and shows how the language can be applied to (business) process modeling. As major perspectives of process modeling with UML 2.0, the chapter covers control flow, data objects and object flow, organizational structure, business partner interactions, and system-specific process models. Various types of UML diagrams are presented with a special focus on how these diagrams fit together and complement each other to form a coherent view of a process. Moreover, a running example is used throughout the chapter to illustrate the different facets of a process model.
