TLDR
An object oriented approach to business process modeling is discussed, allowing for a natural and comprehensive design of concurrent operations or interdependent interactions that are performed by different agents in the course of a specific business process.
Abstract
This paper discusses an object oriented approach to business process modeling. The basic idea of this approach is to view business processes as being objects at their own, that incorporate the rules and conditions for a particular business of a given enterprise or organisation. A specific abstraction concept called cooperation is introduced allowing for a natural and comprehensive design of concurrent operations or interdependent interactions that are performed by different agents in the course of a specific business process. Two examples will demonstrate the approach.

Deriving static and dynamic concepts from software requirements using sophisticated tagging

TL;DR: This paper presents a four-level interpretation of tagging-output and focuses on the information supporting a step by step mapping of natural language requirements specifications to a conceptual model, and on how that information is gained.

From textual scenarios to a conceptual schema

TL;DR: To which extent linguistic instruments prove applicable for transforming scenarios into conceptual schemas of various models may be performed automatically in the framework of KCPM, a conceptual predesign model which is used as an Interlingua between natural language and arbitrary conceptual models.

Mapping Functional Requirements: From Natural Language to Conceptual Schemata

TL;DR: This paper proposes an approach that is based on a more end-user oriented modeling language and that provides mechanisms for both: an automatic transformation of natural language requirements specifications into that modeling language, and after validation, anautomatic transformation to UML or other conceptual languages.
