Reverse-engineering business processes was
proposed as a new paradigm in the modeling of
business processes to construct abstract models
from existing and running business process that
are weakly documented or that are no longer con-
formed to their models. This technique could also
be used in cases of disagreement between partici-
pants on the process scheduling or in knowledge
extraction to collect participants experience on a
particular process. The method proposed in this
chapter guides the modeler to better organize the
modeling work and take into account several de-
tails needed to construct efficient process models.
The method is based on a metamodel describing
the business process from five perspectives and
a detailed approach to construct business pro-
cess models. The method was applied on a web
application extracted from the French academic
Information Systems. The reverse-engineering
method could be refined in order to be adapted
with specific modeling contexts. It is also possible
to enhance the usage of metamodel views in order
to integrate all of them in the business process
diagram, especially the intentional view that is
not considered in current modeling languages.
Authors aim also to identify links between the
views which would be useful in automation or
reengineering approach in order to insure a better
and easier management of business processes:
the results of any modification on a view will be
better recognized in other views.
