Refining Semantically Annotated Business Process Diagrams

Business Process Diagrams (BPDs) provide a rich graphical expressiveness for modeling not only business processes but also the development of collective human activities. In Multiagent platforms, BPDs has been used for decoupling the modeling of agent behavior from its implementation. Additionally, the annotation of BPD actions and events with conjunctive queries has opened the door for monitor...

Business Process Diagrams: An UML Extension

Although UML offers models that can be used to describe business processes, many practitioners nevertheless prefer to employ languages that are specifically designed for this purpose. These business process languages typically provide only a weak integration with software modeling languages such as UML. To enhance the support of software development we therefore suggest to extend UML’s activity...
