Abstract
This chapter describes the Knowledge Work Designer, a modeling method for knowledge work. It is based on two principles: (1) the separation of business logic and process logic and (2) the support of both structures and unstructured knowledge. Process logic can be represented in a structured way in BPMN and in a nonstructured way with CMMN. For real processes there is no strict separation between structured processes and cases. Therefore, the Knowledge Work Designer offers a deep integration of BPMN and CMMN. Business logic can be represented in a structured way using decision tables. Unstructured business logic can be represented in documents. The separation of business logic and process logic allows for simpler process model and easier maintenance.

I thank Arianna Pierfranceschi who implemented the BPCMN model type. She put a lot of effort in the attractive design of the model elements and the scripts, which make modeling in the Knowledge Work Designer enjoyable.
