[Paper] A proposal for a method to translate BPMN model into UML activity diagram

Submitted by bao on Wed, 07/06/2011 - 23:11

This is my final report for Business Process Management course. I have finished it quite a long time ago, and now I would like to post it to my blog. This report is about finding an aproach to automate the conversion from UML Activity diagram to BPMN model based on well-defined rules and context. The goal is to be able to synchronize BPMN models with business system.

I am quite new to this area so I am not completely sure that the information in the report is 100% correct. Most of the idea is from this report, I added my idea, add more translation rules and suggestion some further approach for the translation. This is my first formal english report that I did only on my own. I think it is somewhat a paper but not really sure if it satisfy the condition to be a paper, hehe. I hope it would be useful for someone.

Any suggestion, discussion or typo correction is always welcome ;)

Submit it to a conference (e.g. this one: http://www.apsec2011.org/) and you will know if it is qualified for a scientific paper :D
Anw, perhaps you should add some experiments, or some kinds of "evidences", to show that the proposed method actually work (and better than existed methods). Then change it to the IEEE format and you can submit to a conference ^^

@Vu: Thanks for your advise. This is a two-week-paper so I am quite not sure about evidences or implementation, hehe. But maybe later I will need your help for paper submission ;)
