Abstract
In recent years, the design of time-aware business processes has seen advancements mostly in the theory. Various modeling constructs and techniques to verify the temporal qualities of business processes have been formalized. However, operational support for process designers still lags behind, with only a few tools offering limited time-related functionalities available. Here, we contribute towards closing this gap and propose a modeling tool based on the Camunda modeler. Our tool features an interactive interface that aids the design of time-aware process models with guarantees of temporal correctness in terms of dynamic controllability.
