Abstract

There are different model types to model business processes, like ARIS models, BPMN or UML activity diagrams. These models are well elaborated. Moreover, almost all commercial systems or web-based systems are driven by their dynamic behavior which needs to be described precisely by the business process models. The challenge is the validation of these business process models against behavioral dynamic rules. However, the question is what is to be checked in detail and how this is represented in the models and how the results of the checks are displayed. In the paper we present a graphical representation supporting the checking business process models. A graphical specification of business rules and regulations is presented which allows to display both the business process models and the rules in one graphical editor. Both models are transformed into a formal language which may be processed by a verification tool - a model checker in our case. The graphical representation is realized with Eclipse which allows to integrate different other verification systems and to extend the current implementation.
