Deriving Complex Structured Object Types for Business Process Modelling

To build efficient information systems it is important to understand and to optimize the business processes which should be supported. INCOME/STAR is an integrated environment for the cooperative development of large, distributed information systems. INCOME/STAR supports the conceptual modelling of structural system aspects by the entity relationship model and of dynamic system aspects by high level Petri nets. This combination provides a powerful concept for the integrated modelling of business processes.
