• Abstract: Conversational AI systems, such as chatbots and virtual assistants, are becoming increasingly important to digital business processes. However, the established Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) standard faces challenges when representing dynamic, context-sensitive interactions. This paper addresses this methodological and practical research gap by developing a standard-compliant BPMN extension (BPMN4CAI). Using Design Science Research methodology, this paper develops an approach that systematically extends existing BPMN elements and incorporates specialized components. The applicability and relevance of the BPMN4CAI framework are demonstrated and evaluated through a case study. The results show that the BPMN4CAI extension facilitates adaptive decision-making processes, robust context management, and transparent interactions for Conversational AI within business processes.

• DEMO enhanced BPMN [0.0]
  BPMN suffers from a lack of formal semantics, ambiguity, and limitations in modeling multi-party collaborations. A novel approach combining the rigor of DEMO's transaction patterns with the more practical, widely adopted BPMN framework is proposed and demonstrated. We argue that this combination enriches the modeling of business processes, providing a more coherent and reliable tool for both practitioners and researchers.
