The role-oriented process modeling language

Process modeling and its description language are attracting increasing attention from industries. As the concept of role orientation becomes more widely accepted, there have already been some role-modeling approaches and description languages of role orientation. This paper summarizes the characteristics and the weakness of the methods mentioned above, and presents an intuitive, vivid, flexible, and highly scalable process description language for role orientation. This language adopts a modular and component-oriented approach which lowers the coupling degree between the process modules and provides a new methodology for future process description.
