Previously we provided two formal behavioural semantics for Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) in the process algebra CSP. By exploiting CSP’s refinement orderings, developers may formally compare their BPMN models. However, BPMN is not a specification language, and it is difficult and sometimes impossible to use it to construct behavioural properties against which BPMN models may be verified. This paper considers a pattern-based approach to expressing behavioural properties. We describe a property specification language
PL
for capturing a generalisation of Dwyer et al.’s Property Specification Patterns, and present a translation from
PL
into a bounded, positive fragment of linear temporal logic, which can then be automatically translated into CSP for simple refinement checking. We demonstrate its application via a simple example.
