Abstract
The service process modeling is emerging in the enterprise. Nevertheless, business modelling can be very complex, lying at the heart of many business decisions and demanding a lot of time and effort. A well-designed, well-built business model can lower risk and make enterprises more successful in their objectives. The SLMToolBox is an Eclipse RCP that proposes to transform conceptual models of service processes coming from business level to BPMN models (OMG 2011) and then from BPMN into DEVS models in order to simulate the behavior of the entire conceptual model. For a better integration and deployment of service models in the enterprise, we propose in this paper to test first - thanks to simulation - services freshly modeled (yet non-existing) coupled with existing enterprise services. This paper is a work in progress that recalls the MDSEA methodology and presents the key concept of the transformation of BPMN concepts into executable workflows within the SLMToolBox software, where unavailable enterprise services are simulated using DEVS. The interoperability between real and simulated services will be handled by the tool Taverna workflow and HLA RTI. This step is one step further in the MDSEA development loop.
