Abstract. There are considerable difficulties modelling new business
processes. One approach is to adapt existing models, but this leads to
the difficult problem of maintaining consistency between model and code.
This work reports an investigation into creating quick models that are
nonetheless useful in providing insight into proposed designs.
1 Introduction
There are considerable difficulties modelling new business processes. One ap-
proach is to adapt existing models, but this leads to the difficult problem of
maintaining consistency between model and code. In eXtreme Programming
[Bec00], for example, we are advised to "travel light" questions are answered
by examining the code rather than trusting written designs which may be out
of date.
