摘要: This paper presents a methodology to bridge the gap between business process modeling and workflow specification. While first is concerned with intuitive descriptions that are mainly used for communication, second configuring process-aware information system, thus requiring more rigorous language less suitable communication. Unlike existing approaches not bridged by providing formal semantics an informal language. Instead it assumed desired behavior just subset of full obtained using liberal interpretation Using new correctness criterion (relaxed soundness), verified whether selection possible. The consists five steps illustrated event-driven chains as Petri nets specification
