Abstract

In order to survive in today's competitive world, understanding the business process and how it works can be a key to success. Visualization improves understandability of business process for developers, and accompanies modeling. There are two modeling methods that are often used in the industry - standard BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) and UML activity diagram. This paper shows whether the activity graph of UML 2.0 draft can support business process modeling or not through comparing it with the BPMN features.
