MD*: The Model-Driven Star blog: Representing Social BPM and WebML at the BPMN workshop 2011. Tomorrow (November 21st) I'll present two contributions to the 3rd international BPMN workshop in Luzern, Switzerland.

However, no appropriate notation has been devised for specifying social aspects within business process models.
We propose a first attempt towards the extension of business process notations with social features. In particular, we devise an extension of the BPMN notation for capturing social requirements. Such extension does not alter the semantics of the language: it includes a set of new event types and task types, together with some annotation for the pool/lane levels.
