ChOrDa: a methodology for the modeling of business processes with BPMN (0907.1238v1)

Abstract: In this paper we present a modeling methodology for BPMN, the standard notation for the representation of business processes. Our methodology simplifies the development of collaborative BPMN diagrams, enabling the automated creation of skeleton process diagrams representing complex choreographies. To evaluate and tune the methodology, we have developed a tool supporting it, that we apply to the modeling of an international patenting process as a working example.
