Abstract

This paper presents the conception of Cognitive Event Driven Chain Diagram (cEPC) based on integration of traditional EPC diagram and fuzzy cognitive maps. At the beginning the stages of evolution of business process modelling (BPM) tools are presented. The pyramid of business process classification in terms of cognitive BPM is discussed. The paper also describes the business process cognitive intensity evaluation method. An example of cEPC diagram of skin cancer diagnosis process is provided as well.
