Abstract
The success of process-aware information systems and web services heavily depends on their ability to work as catalysts for the business values that are being exchanged in a business model. The motivation of a business model can be found in the goals of an enterprise which are made explicit in a goal model. From the IT perspective, goal and business models form part of a chain of models, ending with an information system model. Thereby, analyzing and establishing the alignment of business models with goal models is a starting task on the way to a business-aware information system. This paper discusses the alignment of value-based business models with system-oriented goal models. The result is a set of transformation rules between the two models. A case study from the health sector is used to argument the way we ground and apply our contribution.
