Typical BP Modelling

Domain-Specific Process Modelling

Generic Processes

•BPMN language•Process semantics is diluted•Natively understood by the BPMS (not necessarily fully portable though)•Hard to enforce concept-level SLAs and constraints•Hard to reuse at all granularities

Domain-Specific Processes

•Specific language (graphical or textual)•Process semantics is strong•Require conversion to BPMN to be used in BPMS•Easy to operate at business concept-level (SLAs etc)•Facilitate reuse of business concepts

Generic Processes (BPMN)

Domain-Specific Processes

Textual

•Xtext-based for instance•Appropriate for certain fields such as legal processes•Can be used for editing details in graphical processes (policies, rules)

Graphical

•Sirius-based for instance•Appropriate where control flow is important and layered-views are useful
