Abstract

Business processes are the driving force of organizations regardless of their size, type or age. There are some processes that are explicit, formal and well documented and others that are in tacit and informal form. Processes are usually complex and require deep knowledge to understand them. For this reason, Business Process Management is a priority for organizations worldwide. Domain Specific Languages are programming languages that are designed to be implemented in specific fields. This paper introduces an open source toolset that will facilitate the reuse of processes in both the public and private sector through a Domain Specific Language and an Integrated Development Environment with a dedicated graphical tool for users that have no previous experience in modeling processes.
