Abstract. In this paper we will show how the OMG specification of BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) can be used to model the process- and event-oriented perspectives of an application subject area. We will illustrate how the fact-oriented conceptual models for the information-, process- and event perspectives can be used in a ‘bottom-up’ approach for creating a BPMN model in combination with other approaches, e.g. the use of a textual description. We will use the common doctor’s office example as a running example in this article.LNCS 5872, p. 639 ff.
