Abstract:
This paper presents a rigorous conceptual specification of sensitive business processes (SBPs) to improve
the localization and identification of crucial knowledge mobilized and created by these processes. It covers
all relevant aspects relating to business process modeling and knowledge management (BPM-KM), i.e. the
functional, the organizational, the behavioral, the informational, the intentional and the knowledge
dimensions. In this research work, we focus more specifically on the description of the « Functional
Dimension», which represents the core dimension in SBP modeling. Precisely, we present BPMN4FM, an
extension of the most suitable business process modeling formalism BPMN 2.0 to explicitly represent,
integrate and implement the functional dimension of SBP, exploring the collaboration, interaction and
knowledge aspects. Besides, we evaluate the relevance of BPMN4FM concepts through a real SBP scenario
from medical domain.
