摘要
Model transformations are frequently applied in business process modeling to bridge between languages on a different level of abstraction and formality. In this paper, we define a transformation from UML 2.0 Activity diagram (UML-AD for short) to YAWL, a formal workflow language that is able to capture all of the 20 workflow patterns reported in [1]. We illustrate the transformation challenges and present a suitable transformation algorithm. The benefit of the transformation is threefold. First, it clarifies the semantics of UML-AD via a mapping to YAWL. Second, the deployment of UML-AD business process models as workflows is simplified. Third, UML-AD models can be analyzed with YAWL verification tools.
