Model-Driven Engineering holds the promise of transforming\ud
business models into code automatically. This requires the concept of\ud
model transformation. In this paper, we assess the feasibility of model\ud
transformations from Event-driven Process Chain models to Business\ud
Process Execution Language specifications. To this purpose, we use a\ud
framework based on ontological analysis and workflow patterns in order\ud
to predict the possibilities/limitations of such a model transformation.\ud
The framework is validated by evaluating the transformation of several\ud
models, including a real-life case.\ud
The framework indicates several limitations for transformation. Eleven\ud
guidelines and an approach to apply them provide methodological support\ud
to improve the feasibility of model transformation from EPC to\ud
BPEL
