Description

The BPMN-Layouter is a tool for modeling and layouting processes in BPMN (business process modeling notation). It is a prototype tool developed for researching advanced layouting techniques for BPMN diagrams. Despite its focus on research, we put quite some effort on usability and stability in order to make BPMN-Layouter usable also for modeling specialists and process analysts.

Features

Modeling of BPMN diagrams
Export to common image formats and XML (based on GraphML)
Layout of BPMN diagrams:
The layout algorithms are based on Sugiyama and the Topology-Shape-Metrics- (TSM-) Framework. The techniques are adapted for the support of Swimlanes and Partitions in general.
Layout using sketches of diagrams (Sketch-driven layout). When a BPMN diagram is layouted and changed afterwards e.g. a new element is inserted, this approach layouts the new diagrams while leaving the old diagram as unchanged as possible (Tagline is: keeping the user's mental map)
Visualization in 2.5D (2.5 dimensions) of BPMN diagrams using a 3D-Navigator
3D Flight Navigator: Browsing through a process model in a 3D-environment in real-time. Providing high user interactivity. Useful for presentation and analysis of business process models.
I18N internationalization support. Currently, supported languanges are yet limited to german and english.

Download

The BPMN-Layouter is provided in terms of a zipped file that contains all files needed for the application to run.

Do not hesitate to contact me (Email: effinger) if you wish to test the BPMN Layouter!

I gladly provide versions for both Windows and Linux/Unix platforms. If your focus is on a particular part of the application, I am willing to deploy a version with the desired set of functionalities.

System requirements are:

Sun JDK 1.5.0 or higher.
Java Open GL (JOGL), for support of 2.5D only. The necessary library files are contained in the zipped download file. If there are issues with JOGL, a guide is also available here.

Documentation

A tutorial is currently under construction and will be made available as soon as possible.
