@techreport{Wagner, author = {Wagner, Gerd}, title = {Discrete Event Process Modeling Notation (DPMN)}, address = {Cottbus}, pages = {25}, abstract = {DPMN is a BPMN-based diagram language for making (computational) process design models for discrete event simulation. It combines the intuitive flowchart modeling style of BPMN with the rigorous semantics provided by the event scheduling arrows of Event Graphs and the event rules of the Object-Event Modeling and Simulation paradigm. While BPMN uses XML Schema as its default type definion language, DPMN uses UML Class Diagrams as its default (data, object and event) type definion language. As opposed to BPMN Data Objects, DPMN Data Objects instantiate an object type defined by an information model expressed in the form of a UML Class Diagram. A DPMN model has a formal semantics in terms of an Abstract State Machine whose state structure is defined by an object-oriented signature and whose transitions are defined by event rules capturing causal regularities.}, language = {en} }
