Abstract-Software process modelling has recently become an area of interest within both academia and industry. It aims at defining and formalizing the software process in the form of formal rigorous models. A software process modelling formalism presents the language or notation in which the software process is defined and formalized. Several software process modelling formalisms have been introduced lately, however, they have failed to gain the attention of the industry. One major objective of formalizing the software process that has ever been an issue of research, is to enhance the understanding and communication among software process users. To achieve this aim, a modelling formalism has to offer a common language to be wellunderstood by all software process users. BPMN presents a graphical-based widely accepted standard formalism, mainly aimed at business process modelling. This paper illustrates a software process modelling formalism based upon BPMN specifications for representing the software process, named as, SP2MN. The paper also demonstrates the applicability and evaluation of the proposed formalism by; utilizing the standard ISPW-6 benchmark problem, in addition to comparing the expressiveness of SP2MN with similar software process modelling formalisms. The evaluations prove that SP2MN contributes in enhancing software process formalization. SP2MN, accordingly, can be used as a standard software process modelling formalism.

“…We address this gap by a close reading of the relevant GPC standard [3] and of common best practices from ICLEI [6] together with the practices and requirements of the municipality. We especially examine steps in the data gathering and compilation through interviews and iterative model development that result in a number of general models in BPMN [8] together with a list of identified challenges.…”

Abstract. Business process modeling and business process management has been used to capture, support and improve a large variety of processes and practices in the private and public sector. Traditionally what is regarded as a good business process is strongly related to economic dimensions. With the increasing importance of assuring sustainable development, BPM techniques should to an increasing degree be able to be used to support the goal of sustainability of the supported or automated solution. This paper provides results from a case study in the Carbon Track and Trace (CTT) project on supporting the compilation and reporting of data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the city level in the form of GHG inventories. Although basic BPM-techniques are applicable on this levels, we have identified a number of challenges and potential improvements to represent the relevant aspects in such cases to support automated and semi-automated solutions.

“…Unfortunately, BPMN is informal and leaves room for ambiguities, inconsistencies (existence of superfluous attributes, deviations between process definition and its execution semantics...) [6] and misinterpretations of several concepts (lifecycle, interruptions, expression evaluation, and completion of processes…) [7]. Hence, business process model analysis is considered a critical step in BPM's life cycle.…”

“…In fact, BPMN suffers from many problems that limit the model's verification to informal techniques such as simulation. We focused in this paper on some problems that are related to the flow control analysis [7]. These problems are detailed in the following:…”
