The BPMN standard is largely adopted by industry and academia due to its intuitive graphical notation. Nevertheless, fully understanding the behaviour of BPMN collaboration models may be difficult when dealing at the same time with multiple instances, exchange of messages, and data manipulation. Figuring out the interplay between such concepts by statically looking at models is in general error-prone and time-consuming. To overcome this issue we provide a novel model animator tool, called MIDA. It turns out to be an effective supporting tool for enhancing the understanding of BPMN collaborations and debugging errors that can easily arise in modelling them.

Abstract

The BPMN standard is largely adopted by industry and academia due to its intuitive graphical notation. Nevertheless, fully understanding the behaviour of BPMN collaboration models may be difficult when dealing at the same time with multiple instances, exchange of messages, and data manipulation. Figuring out the interplay between such concepts by statically looking at models is in general error-prone and time-consuming. To overcome this issue we provide a novel model animator tool, called MIDA. It turns out to be an effective supporting tool for enhancing the understanding of BPMN collaborations and debugging errors that can easily arise in modelling them.
