Our main interests are in the graphically representation and modelling of business processes. To be able to do that, we have to select a language or a format that we want the business process should be...

The main difference between PCD, UML, and BPMN is that BPMN has a direct connection with an execution language, BPEL. Therefore, BPMN seems to be the best choice for us for modelling a business process. Here is a short description of what BPMN is...
