Digitalization transforms business processes substantially due to increasing customer demands for flexibility, new technologies (e.g., Intelligent Technologies) and emerging markets. Business process models are used to understand current processes and provide guidance for process improvements. A role-based extension of the de-facto standard business process modeling language BPMN is proposed that can support the business transformation and other modeling challenges. Bachmann and Daya (1977) introduced roles, which provide the basis for the extension. Steimann (2000) and Kühn (2017) increased the understanding of roles and provided an overview of roles' versatility. This work incorporates roles in business process modeling, thereby closing the gap between structural and behavioral modeling.:Contents
