Improvement of Software Engineering by Modeling Knowledge-Intensive Business Processes

The Knowledge Modeling and Description Language (KMDL®) allows analysts to identify process patterns, which leads to improvements in knowledge-intensive processes. After modeling the business processes, knowledge and process potentials in daily business processes can be unleashed. The following contribution presents a specification of KMDL® for software engineering (KMDL®-SE). A real-life example is used to explain KMDL®-SE.
