This repository provides the implementation of the BPMN extension proposed in the paper "Towards Modeling Human-Agentic Collaborative Workflows: A BPMN Extension", submitted for review to the International Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE) 2025.
Folder extension contains the Eclipse project defining the BPMN extension using Aconite.
Aconite is a tool that generates graphical modelling notations from an annotated Ecore metamodel.
The requirements to run the code are:
- Eclipse Modeling Tools 2024-09 or newer
- Java 17+
- Eclipse Epsilon 2.5.0+
- Eclipse Emfatic 1.1+
- Eclipse Sirius 7.x
To run the tool, set up the Eclipse IDE following this instructions.
Then clone the repository and import the project in the extension folder into your Eclipse workspace, by clicking on the "File > Import" menu item and selecting "General > Existing Projects into Workspace".
Find the downloaded subdirectory and import these four projects:
- lu.uni.snt.besser.bpmn-agentic
- lu.uni.snt.besser.bpmn-agentic.edit
- lu.uni.snt.besser.bpmn-agentic.editor
- lu.uni.snt.besser.bpmn-agentic.tests
Right-click on lu.uni.snt.besser.bpmn-agentic and click "Run As... > Eclipse Application". This will open a nested ("runtime") Eclipse, into which we import only lu.uni.snt.besser.bpmn-agentic by clicking on the "File > Import" menu item and selecting "General > Existing Projects into Workspace" unticking the other projects.
The representation of the running example is in the model folder.
In the "Model explorer" view expand the model folder, then select the representation.aird file.
In the "Representations" list expand the "BPD" and double-click on "Running Example".
Then, the running example should be displayed as in the following screenshot:
