Abstract
In recent years, several approaches have been proposed for modeling business process, with the emergence of Context-Awareness and semantic web, especially Ontologies. Researchers and practitioners had attempted to integrate them into Business Process Modeling. In this paper, we present, on the one hand, some classical approaches for BPM, particularly approaches that integrate Context and others that integrate Ontologies into BPM. On the other hand, we analyze their main characteristics through a comparative analysis based on a series of criteria. The purpose of this survey is to provide a support for a new proposal.
