Abstract

This paper discusses a visual process modeling language called Virtual Reality Process Modeling Language (VRPML). Novel features have been introduced in VRPML to investigate perceived weaknesses in existing PMLs, and include support for the integration of a virtual environment, and dynamic creation and assignment of tasks and resources at the PML level. The paper describes the VRPML syntax and semantics.
