In order to engineer business processes a model is needed that allows us to analysis and design of the dynamic properties of the processes. This paper shows a unified framework for data flow diagrams (DFD, for short) and Petri nets in modeling business processes. Introducing the concept of business transaction Petri net, we provide a firm mathematical basis for a comparison of a such Petri net to a business process modeled by a DFD. It will be turned out that the behavior of a business transaction Petri net is simulated by the corresponding business transaction system.The resulted framework makes it possible that the experience with DFD’s will be applicable to Petri nets in modeling business processes, and vice versa.
