Spreadsheet-based Business Process modeling

Business Process models help to visualize processes of an organization. In enterprises, these processes are often specified in internal regulations, resolutions or other law acts of a company. Such descriptions, like task lists, have mostly form of enumerated lists or spreadsheets. We present a method how to generate a BPMN process model from a spreadsheet-based representation. In contrast to the existing approaches, our method does not require explicit specification of gateways in the spreadsheet, but it takes advantage of nested list form.
