Business Process and Motivation of Objectives in One Model

The Object Management Group predicts that the Business Proc ess Modelling Notation will be eventually merged with the Business Motivation Model to be implemented in integrated tool suites. However, conventional modelling semantics have asynchronous semantic s and therefore have difficulties to accommodate motivation of objectives specified on the basis of synchrono us semantics. This paper shows how Protocol Modelling semantics can be used both for business process mo delling and motivation modelling corresponding to objectives. Protocol Modelling uses synchronous com p sition and this synchronization gives to Protocol Modelling the expressive means needed to accommodate motiv ati n of objectives and business processes in one model.
