Model-based reasoning on the achievement of business goals

Abstract

Business process modeling has been realized as a methodology for the optimization of workflows in enterprises. Process models help to formalize the actual workflow by describing the activities that are required to achieve a specific business goal. In order to make business processes compliant with laws and regulations, it is necessary in practice to rewrite them in a way such that they guarantee the compliance with the identified security properties. Our research towards automated process rewriting for compliance enforcement has revealed that an essential building block is the ability for reasoning on the achievement of business goals: rewriting is only practically applicable (regardless whether it is performed manually or automatically) if the resulting process still achieves the desired business goals. This paper presents an approach for the automated reasoning on the achievement of business goals based on semantic congruence relations.
