A business process model represents the basic building block for a workflow-enabled enterprise information system. Generally, a process model evolves through numerous changes during its lifetime to meet dynamic and changing business requirements. It is essential that such changes are introduced systematically and their impact is clearly understood. Process model transformation is a suitable approach for this purpose. Applying pre-defined transformation operations can ensure that the modified process conforms to a given class of constraints specified in the original model. Using a generic process modelling language, we identify three classes of transformation principles - equivalent, imply, and subsume - to manage changes in process models. A simple algebraic notation for representing process graphs is also presented that can be used to reason about transformation operations.
