Abstract

The semantic model for the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.0 presented in Chap. 4 deviates from the OMG’s standard in several places. In this chapter, we discuss and justify those deviations. Furthermore, we discuss miscellaneous other features of BPMN 2.0 as it is and make further suggestions for improvements. A detailed specification of these further changes in terms of a formal, semantic model for business process diagrams in general will be subject to a separate publication.
