In this chapter, we present the first application to business processes of the formal verification framework presented in Part . Specifically, we define a general model of Data-Aware Processes, called DAB, which is a theoretical extension of the BPMN language with full-fledged relational data. We also show how DABs can be translated into RASs, so as to transfer the verification results for RASs described in Part to this BPMN-oriented model. DABs are similar in spirit to artifact systems concerning the treatment of relational data, but employ a fragment of the BPMN language to express the process schema. We state in Section the main contributions that we provide by introducing DABs.The DAB framework is a theoretical framework that can be seen as the BPMN counterpart of RASs. In the next chapter, we will introduce an operational and implemented framework, called delta-BPMN, that can be seen as the practice-oriented version of DABs.The content of this chapter was first presented in [49].
