Abstract

An examination of existing process programming-languages has shown, that none of them explicitly supports the design of software processes. Most of the process programming-languages are on the same level as “traditional” programming-languages and, therefore, are difficult to understand and unsuitable for explaining the process defined. A promising starting point for an intuitive representation of the process is to apply the concepts of already well known and accepted graphical languages, which have been used successfully for the design of databases and complex reactive systems.

This work has been supported by the Provincial Ministry for Research (MWF) of the state of Northrhine Westphalia
