BPMN 2012 - 4th International Workshop on the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN 2012)

The Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard experiences a huge uptake in both academia and industry. It is seen by many as the de-facto standard for business process modeling, analysis, and execution. Its promise of being one language for Business and IT has made it very popular with business analysts, tool vendors, practitioners, and end users. Dozens of standard implementations are listed on the OMG website.
After three successful workshops in Vienna, Austria, Potsdam, Germany, Lucerne, Switzerland, this fourth workshop brings together researchers and practitioners to discuss and present the latest developments around BPMN.
