A Colored C-net Model Based on RGPS and Its Application

Configurable business process model describes the family of the similar process model for particular domain; it can derive the individual process model meeting the particular users' requirement by some configuration operations. This paper provides a configurable business process model with the constraints of role and goal, which is obtained by add role and goal to the core model element—the activity of the causal nets (C-net). Then it guides the execution sequence of the activities of business process through the constraint rules and relationship along the role-goal-process-service of the RGPS requirement meta-model framework, so that it enables the model to reflect the behavior of business process efficiently. Finally, it sets the label function of configuration operation label to the input/output binding ports of activity, thus the individual process is formed by assigning the concrete configuration operation label to the ports. In this paper, the formal definitions of the proposed model are given and its application in the configuration on the business process is analyzed, so that it can be utilized to guiding the configuration management of business process.
