Aligning Business Processes and Software Connecting the UML 2 Profile for Event Driven Process Chains with Use Cases and Compone

The alignment between business processes and software is inadequately supported in conceptual modelling, although business processes are often the starting point for software development and define requirements for software systems. To address this gap, we connect the UML 2 profile for Event Driven Process Chains (EPCs) [2] with UML 2 elements representing software requirements and components. The approach is tested with an example business process.
