Automated Business Process Modelling for Analyzing Sustainable System Requirements Engineering

This paper presents the new automatic modelling methodology to derive the system requirements from the business goal model. This methodology involves two main levels: (1) level 1 presents the business requirements for the business environment to describe the business strategy and infrastructure specifications; and (2), level 2 presents the IT requirements and how its automatically being model and analyze from Business Processes (BPs). Level 1 includes three main elements: business goals, business rules and BP. Level 2 includes four main stages: (1) translating the business goals into UML sequence diagrams in order to explore the detailed information about the BP; (2) illustrating the UML sequences diagrams data into the loosely coupled format named Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) Metadata interchange (XMI) in order to examine and map the information; (3) generating the XMI format of the UML state chart diagram by analyzing the business goals in order to clarify and resolve conflicts between goals; and (4) converting the UML state chart diagram from the XMI format in order to clarify of the system requirements for system developers. The proposed methodology can help the system developers to understand the Business Process (BP) goals and implement the system according to the organizational requirements. It can positively influence the alignment between business and IT.
