OOBIS: an Object Oriented Approach to Business Process Redesign andIS Requirement Analysis

摘要

We suggest an object oriented modeling procedure and its languagefor business process modeling, OOBIS (Object Oriented Approach toBusiness Process Redesign and IS Requirement Analysis). OOBIS aims toprovide a practical object-oriented procedure for business processredesign, which takes full advantages of existing useful modelinglanguages. We adopt many useful diagrams and concepts from many priormethodologies. One distinctive feature of OOBIS is that it is anincremental modeling by means of object classification. In OOBIS,objects are classified into three categories: active, static, andinformation system object. OOBIS also defines stages and activities forincremental modeling of objects. Three kinds of process maps are used asthe main tool of OOBIS: active object process map (AO map), businessobject process map (BO map), an business object and information systemobject process map (BOIS map). At the first stage of analysis, activeobjects in the business process are captured using the AO map. Next, BOmap is constructed with business objects, which includes both active andstatic objects. Finally, information system objects are defined and COmap emerges as the redesigned business process. We give an overview ofOOBIS, summarize some baseline principles of OOBIS, give a briefdefinition of OOBIS terminology, and give the procedure for OOBIS
