AO-BPM 2.0: Aspect Oriented Business Process Modeling

摘要

Crosscutting concerns are process elements that, although not part of the core, permeate process models. Traditional methods of business process modeling do not usually address crosscutting concerns, causing them to remain scattered around the process model, hindering understanding and flexibility. The aspect orientation is a paradigm that provides mechanisms to modularize crosscutting concerns. The goal of this paper is to describe the improvements in an existent aspect-oriented process modeling notation, enhancing readability, graphical scalability and simplicity. A case study in a real setting is presented to evaluate whether the notation can produce a better visual representation.
