Abstract

The evolution of Enterprise Information Systems(EIS) has been shift from data-centric information systems to process-centric information systems in last decade. Business Process Management(BPM), extension of Workflow Management(WFM) contains methods, techniques and tools to support the design, enactment, management and analysis of business process. Petri Nets(PN) are used like standard for BPM and WFM technology. Our approach is to define a methodology for analyze, design, implement, maintain EIS only with Computer Aided Software Engineering(CASE) tools, according to Model Driven Architecture(MDA) from Platform Independent Models(PIMs) to Platform Specific Models(PSMs). In our approaches we proposed an extension of Object Constraint Language(OCL), Complete Constraint Language(CCL) in idea to use the Activity Diagram(AD) from Unified Modeling Language(UML) as formal basis for BPM and WFM technology, respectively Entity Relationship-Stored Procedures(ER-SP), an extension of ER(Entity Relationship) model for conceptual, syntactic and semantic modeling of relational databases in idea to create a link between external to physical models.
