A principles of a process model decompositionOne of the actual problems of applied informatics is the issue of a good decomposition of a business
process model. Almost any applied project in the field of IT development includes modeling of
a business processes, so that their success depends significantly on the quality of the models used for
the analysis, re-engineering and automation. The decomposition of business process model is a key
problem in the development of IT enterprise architecture. While this problem is not yet solved, the
work of an analyst remain a craft, while engineering approach is required. The purpose of this article
is to analyze the theoretical basis and in the context of the Bunge-Wanda Weber ontologicy, develop
the principles of a decomposition, which can be considered as a «good» one, suggest criterion
which will help to achieve a proper model decomposition. It is wrong to understand decomposition
as an identification of components of a system. One should take into consideration the links between
its modules — if the connections are complex, their analysis may negate the advantage of decomposition.
Strongly connected components cannot be considered separately, but only jointly. The reason
for the strong connection is the intersection of an information objects and sub-processes, resulting decomposition.
The peculiarity of this research is that we consider a coordinated decomposition of data
objects, process operations and external events.
