We investigate the question if BPMN can be used for simulation modeling by evaluating it against ABDESO, a foundational ontology for agent-based discrete event simulation. Since a simulation model is intended to capture a real-world system, BPMN, if used as the modeling language for making the simulation model, should have a “real-world semantics” based on a founda tional ontology for agent-based discrete event simulation.
