Title:
Towards a
Modeling Method for Business Processes in Virtual
Enterprises Based on UML and ECATNets
Abstract: Nowadays,
Virtual Enterprises can be considered as one of
the most promising paradigms for future enterprises. The main
characteristics
of Virtual Enterprises are the distributed and parallel business
process
execution. In this paper we propose a modeling method for business
processes in
Virtual Enterprises based on an integration of UML and ECATNets.
ECATNets are a
category of high level Petri Nets. Benefits of both informal Object
Oriented
Design and formalisms of Petri nets are used for verification and
validation purposes
of the design prior to full system implementation. The proposed method
follows
the Unified Process life cycle.
