Abstract

In recent years many web applications regulated by workflows were developerd in order to permit the collaboration between many stakeholders during the execution of Business Processes. Generally, these kind of systems are implemented using web technologies in order to be easily designed, implemented and to be available in different operative systems and platform. Standard general purpose Business Process Modeling languages such as BPMN can be used to design the workflow of these systems, but they lack in the definition of which web technology has to be used to implemented each single business activity. In this paper, we propose a novel business process modeling notation named webBPMN including elements that can be used to model web applications regulated by workflows. We experimented the notation designing the Business Process of the internship web application of the University of Camerino.
