Feasibility and rationale of introducing layers into business process modelsPolančič, Gregor (Avtor) Jošt, Gregor (Avtor) Soini, Jari (Avtor) business processesbusiness process managementbusiness process model and notationBPMNBusiness Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is the leader and de-facto standard in business process modeling, a sub-discipline of business process management. While BPMN's objectives are to be expressive, widely understood, interchangeable and executable, it has also became rich and complex. The objective of this article is to present an idea of lowering the complexity of BPMN by applying layers into BPMN based process models. As presented in the article, layers are the remaining complexity management approach, which has not been implemented in BPMN yet. The focal part of the article is a SWOT analysis of applying layers into business process models, as well as the future work and challenges which need to be solved in order to reach our research goal - increasing the objective and subjective understandability of BPMN based process models.20112012-06-01 08:35:34Neznano26896sl
