Description
Summary:BPMN has become the standard of business process modeling in describing the existing series of business process. By engaging BPMN, an analyst would possibly able to model the whole business process activities in which he/she may analyze business process upon design time. It can be done by analyzing the structure, behavior, or semantic of process model. In certain condition one may ask a question what would the effects of the process be if it were to be executed up to this point?. However, it cannot be solved with only graphical notation, but with its semantics. In practice, several modeling tools still do not provide a feature for managing information regarding the effects/results in the business process model. In fact, analysts should be supported with a tool in order to semantically enrich a process model with its effects. This article describes effect annotation semantically towards activity in the BPMN model including the rules in representing its effects. The effect annotation will be suited towards activity type (atomic and compound activities). The outcomes of plugin development of eclipse BPMN2 modeler for representing semantic effect are also described in this paper.
