Abstract

The heterogeneity of process modeling languages is a problem of BPM that needs to be solved. Business process modeling notation typically addresses the process design stage. There are also process enactment environments like BPEL. The graphical modeling BPMN standard can be easily used by nontechnical analysts while execution standards like BPEL can be hardly understood by non-programmers. There is a lack of interchangeable standards covering all of the functionalities needed by BPM analyst. Although there are many attempts to fill all the gaps in business process modeling environment, no successful proposition has been made. There have been many attempts to create bi-directional mapping between the two languages. The QBPM is uniform design and execution environment which addresses this problem. It enables execution of native BPMN diagrams created with open standards edition tools such as open source Eclipse BPMN implementation.
