Abstract

As the computational power of IoT (Internet of Things) devices increases, business processes can use them to provide information about real world as well as to execute part of business processes, reducing the amount of exchanged data and central processing. Current BPMN-based approaches already support modellers to define both business processes and IoT devices behaviour at the same level of abstraction. However, they are not restricted to standard BPMN elements and they generate IoT device specific low-level code. The work we present in this paper only uses standard BPMN to define both central and IoT behaviour of business processes. In addition, the BPMN that defines the IoT behaviour is translated to a neutral-platform programming code.
