Abstract
Currently, the Business Process Diagram (or BPD) is included in all general UML modeling tools. The BPD diagram allows business users and business analysts to design business processes with business process modeling notations. Some papers review that exporting BPMN to BPEL feature is a significant feature of communication between business and technical uses over their requirements. However, as we investigated, there are some limitations on exporting BPMN to BPEL. This implies that exporting BPD diagram to BPEL files is not the end solution for business and technical users. This paper proposes to establish mapping between BPMN notations in the BPD diagram and BPEL notations in the BPEL diagram to ensure smooth operation between the two groups. It also shows that the BPEL designer diagram is useful for business users with technical skill, who plan to design business process to be integrated as an extension diagram in UML modeling tools. In this paper, No Magic Inc.’s MagicDraw isCurrently, the Business Process Diagram (or BPD) is included in all general UML modeling tools.

In this paper, No Magic Inc.’s MagicDraw is an example of specific-vendor UML modeling tool for integration with BPEL designer. In the future, the BPEL designer should be included as an extension in specificvendor UML modeling tools. an example of specific-vendor UML modeling tool for integration with BPEL designer. In the future, the BPEL designer should be included as an extension in specificvendor UML modeling tools.
