From these considerations, the final goal of our study is
to develop a light framework to manage processes. This framework will be efficient,
easy to use, and low cost. In this phase of our study we focus on the design and
implementation of a business process editor and we face two main problems: (1) the
choice of the notation to adopt in the business process design, and (2) the choice of
the formal language to adopt in order to make the design machine readable.

Our.Approach
The first and most important problem to solve to reach the goal to define a low cost
framework that supports process definition and management is to select the notation
to adopt. The notation must cover the semantic gap between business and IT
experts and must answer to two main requirements: completeness and simplicity.
These aspects may be found in the BPMN notation: Its main goal is to cover the
gap between IT and business experts, which is the gap between process design and
process implementation. BPMN notation is, also, very easy to learn and to understand,
so we select it as the notation to represent processes.
