Towards a Risk-Aware Business Process Modelling Tool Using the ADOxx Platform

Business Process modelling is a key element in the management of organizations. It allows to build an analytical representation of ‘as-is’ processes in an organization and compared it with ‘to-be’ processes for improving their efficiency. Besides, although, risk is an element that can affect business process negatively, it is still managed independently. A necessary link is missing between business process and risk models. To better manage risk related to business process, it should be integrated and evaluated dynamically within the business process models. Currently, there are different meta-models allowing business process modelling. Nevertheless, there are few meta-models allowing risk modelling and even fewer ones that integrate both concepts related to risks and business processes. Based on this need and these observations, we propose, in this work, a risk-aware business process modelling tool using the ADOxx meta-modelling platform.
