Business Process Model Transformation Techniques: A Comprehensive Survey
Business Process Modeling (BPM) plays a critical role in improving organizational efficiency in the industry. It is important to documenting, analyzing and optimizing workflows. BPM is frequently applied on different levels of abstractions and formality. There are various BPM technologies
and languages including BPMN, EPC. The enterprise is always changing and evolving that may have impacts on business processes models, which are modeled in various BPM languages. As such, these models have to be changed. Such changes may involve process model transformation between different
languages. Consequently, it requires a proven technique for such model transformation. There exist various process model transformations with different proposes. In this paper, we are interested in performing a literature survey on the existing business process transformation techniques. We
reviewed 23 techniques using 3 criteria, i.e., completeness, correctness and tool support, in order to compare such techniques. The result indicates that the existing techniques have not completely transformed each process-modeling notation between different languages.
