BPMN MUSIM: Approach to improve the domain expert’s efficiency in business processes modeling for the generation of specific software applications

• Improve the efficiency of domain experts that use BPMN to model processes.
• Multi-domain approach for business process modeling by domain experts.
• Use business process models made by domain experts for automatic code generation.
• Reducing the cost of developing software used to assist domain experts in their daily tasks.

Despite the evolution computer science has undergone during the last years, the time consumed by the application development process has not experienced mayor changes. One of the areas where improvements could be made is the requirement engineering process, where the features offered by business process modeling (BPM) could favor the implication of the domain experts. BPMN, the standard notation, is one of the most widely used modeling languages, used by a great number of organizations around the world. Its versatility enables it to be used for any kind of business process, regardless of the domain the problem addresses. However, non-technical domain experts find difficulties when dealing with business process modeling notations, so their participation in this task remains minor. BPMN MUSIM is a simplified business process modeling notation that intends to: lower the difficulty domain experts have for learning and understanding other notations, enable quick modeling of the business processes and use the models to generate specific software applications.
