Model transformation from BPNM format to OpenERP workflow

Authors:   Zhe Liu, Gregory Zacharewicz

Abstract

This article presents a model transformation from a conceptual modeling language to a platform-specific model. Business people do not have IT background when creating views of their process nevertheless at the end they look at implementing their design. The idea is to support the model transformation from concept to implementation. The source model is BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) that is a graphical representation used for conceptual modeling in business process management. The target is OpenERP that is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) software which consist in two functional modules, end-user processes and workflow engine. In this research, using model-driven architecture, a mapping relation is built up to bridge the two different models. And with the help of XSLT, the transformation can be achieved, tested and validated.
