Automatic construction of process template from business rule

Business process modeling is used to model processes of an Enterprise. Business process modeling is typically performed by business analysts and managers from the purpose of transformation of business prospective of Enterprises to the IT prospective. To model business perspective, need of high level Process Model has been raised as Business Process Modeling Notation, BPMN, is considered at low level. Our belief is that the sequencing and alignment of business rule can lay down the construction of High level process model. We have explored the nature of business rule in business and developed a Business rule meta-model to represent them. Thereafter, A Process Template is derived from Business rule meta-model and then Process Template is mapped to High level process model. In this paper we have focused on Business rule meta-model and construction of Process Template. From Process Template to High level process model will be the future work.
