Abstract

Domain-specific process modelling has gained increased attention, since traditional modelling languages struggle to meet the demands of highly specialized businesses. However, methodological support on the development of such domain-specific languages is still scarce, which hampers the specification of adequate modelling support. To this end, the paper applies a design-oriented research approach to create an integrated framework that facilitates the development of domain-specific process modeling languages. The framework is a result of 23 consolidated requirements from relevant literature and contains essential building blocks that need to be considered during the development process. It is demonstrated that the framework satisfies the identified requirements by structuring and systematizing the development of domain-specific languages, which increases language adequacy and quality.
