Abstract
In order to completely support business processes using a workflow management system, all the knowledge inherent in these processes has to be captured by the workflow modeling language. To meet the requisitions for flexibilty and expressiveness we developed the workflow language EventFlow L based on an event model and we integrated the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for data modeling and the Object Constraint Language (OCL) as a connecting element. The events generated during execution of a workflow can be analyzed to learn from completed processes.
