Extending the UML 2 Activity Diagram with Business Process Goals and Performance Measures and the Mapping to BPEL

The UML 2 Activity Diagram is designed for modelling business processes, but does not yet include any concepts for modelling process goals and their measures. We extend the UML 2 Activity Diagram with process goals and performance measures to make them conceptually visible. Additionally, we provide a mapping to BPEL to make the measures available for execution and monitoring. This profile and its mapping are tested with an example business process.
