[more] The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is the de-facto standard for representing in a very expressive graphical way the processes occurring in virtually every kind of organization one can think of, from cuisine recipes to the Nobel Prize assignment process, incident management, e-mail voting systems, travel booking procedures, to name a few. In this work, we give an overview of BPMN and we present what are the links with other well-known machineries such as BPEL and XPDL. We give an assessment of how the OMG's BPMN standard is perceived and used by practitioners in everyday business process modeling chores.

[more] The ever increasing number of adoptions from companies and the growing interest upon BPMN entails the need of having one more structured underlying conceptual model. In the past different proposals to equip BPMN with a conceptual model have been defined, but the solution currently adopted remains unclear and too complex. Also the proposals submitted to the BPMN 2.0 RFP, which calls for a single notation to define notation, metamodel and interchange format addressing BPDM concepts, are still - in part - unsatisfactory. We developed a new model starting from scratch, and the result of this work is a complete conceptual model for BPMN with a clear metamodel and its related XML-based serialization which provides a self-validating mechanism for checking BP syntax and semantics.

[more] The increased interest around business processes management and modeling techniques has brought many organizations to make significant investments in business process modelling projects. One of the most recent proposal for a new business process modelling technique is the Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN). Often, the modeled business processes involve sensible information whose disclosure is usually regulated by privacy policies. As such, the interaction between business processes and privacy policies is a critical issue worth investigating. Towards this end, we introduce a data model for BPMN and a corresponding XML-based representation (called BPeX) which we use to check whether a BPeX-represented business process is compliant with a P3P privacy policy. Our checking procedures are very efficient and require standard XML technology, such as XPath. Copyright © 2009, Australian Computer Society Inc.
