It is important to make sure that software satisfies stakeholders' requirements. However, as software has been getting more large-scale and complicated in recent years, it has certainly become more difficult to satisfy requirements. Even if there are goal-oriented requirements analysis approaches as techniques to systematically satisfy stakeholders' requirements, it is still difficult to maintain consistency of goal models and other requirements artifacts. In this paper, we propose a transformation approach that transforms models of KAOS, a well-known goal modeling methodology, into preliminary BPMN models by using refinement pattern of KAOS in a systematic way. It can assure consistency between systematically defined user's requirements and their realization process.
