    Abstract

    While Business Process Management (BPM) is an established discipline, the increased adoption of BPM technology in recent years has introduced new challenges. One challenge
    concerns dealing with process model complexity in order
    to improve the understanding of a process model by stakeholders and process analysts. Features for dealing with this complexity can be classified in two categories: 1) those that are solely concerned with the appearance of the model (i.e.\ with its concrete syntax), and 2) those
    that in essence change the structure of the model (i.e. its abstract syntax). In this paper we focus on the former category and present a collection of patterns that generalize and conceptualize various existing features.
    The paper concludes with a detailed analysis of the degree of support of a number of state-of-the-art languages
    and language implementations for these patterns.

    Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

    These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.

    Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
