Through a series of semi-structured interviews with … BPMN adopters we explore empirically the actual use of this grammar. Nine ontological deficiencies related to the practice …

BPMN offers a wide range of modeling constructs, significantly more than other … analysts frequently use arbitrary subsets of BPMN. In this paper we investigate what these subsets are, and how they differ …

Our objective was to determine the factors that lead users to continue working with process modeling grammars after their initial adoption. We examined the explanatory power of three theoretical models of IT usage by applying them to two popular process modeling grammars. We found that a hybrid...

In this paper, we examine the design of business process diagrams in contexts where novice analysts only have basic design tools such as paper and pencils available, and little to no understanding of formalized modeling approaches. Based on a quasi-experimental study with 89 BPM students, we...

However, the conceptual mapping between both languages remains unclear, thus it is undecided whether any BPMN diagram … can be transformed to BPEL. In this paper we argue that there is conceptual mismatch between BPMN and BPEL that needs to …

Process models are used by information professionals to convey semantics about the business operations in a real world domain intended to be supported by an information system. The understandability of these models is vital to them actually being used. After all, what is not understood cannot be...

The value of business process models is dependent not only on the choice of graphical elements in the model, but also on their annotation with additional textual and graphical information. This research discusses the use of text and icons for labeling the graphical constructs in a process model....

Process modeling is an emergent area of Information Systems research that is characterized through an abundance of conceptual work with little empirical research. To fill this gap, this paper reports on the development and validation of an instrument to measure user acceptance of process...
