Abstract
The Business process modelling notation (BPMN) is used for modelling and automating business processes. The resulting process models contain all details that define the process flows from the high level scope up to technological aspects. Often, the readability decreases due to complex flow decisions and computations. While the models could be simplified from the business perspective they must be precise enough when they are executed later on. This paper proposes to use business rule management (BRM) in addition to business process management (BPM) to overcome these drawbacks. It shows best practices for a proper integration of BPM and BRM with regard to modelling and a seamless system integration.
