Research on Business Process Integration Based on Petri Net

Traditional business process integration procedure includes five main steps which are integration modeling,integration simulation,integration execution,integration monitoring and integration optimization.These steps form a closed loop which can achieve optimal outcome.Though the procedure has been applied by some corporations,it still has some limitation in practice.This paper combines the procedure mentioned above with hierarchical Petri net to introduce a new procedure of business process integration which is used to solve the problem of long lifecycle and great expense of the traditional integration procedure.Meanwhile,the paper also focuses on the core step of this integration procedurebusiness process integration modeling in detail,which will provide theoretical basis for the practice.
