Abstract

This paper describes how a BPMN model editor can be extended with simulation capabilities. In cooperation with Intellivate GmbH, which is the developer of the editor IYOPRO, our working group has developed a DESMO-J simulation library extension for simulating business processes notated in Business Process Model and Notation 2.0 (BPMN). We summarize our general approach of extending BPMN models with simulation properties and present, in more detail, problems and best practices while integrating the simulation library. Furthermore, we describe which information is needed to enhance models for simulation purposes and which experiment result can be expected.
