Abstract

This paper provides a complete version of the Workflow Activity Patterns (WAP) in the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) as well as an extended evaluation of the capabilities of BPMN and their strengths and weaknesses when being utilizing for representing WAPs. When implementing the activity patterns in existing Business Process Modeling tools, it is fundamental to represent them in BPMN. This representation may facilitate the adoption of the WAPs by BPMN tools as well as the use of the WAPs in process design.
