چکیده

The bflow* Toolbox is a modeling tool for the business process modeling language Event Driven Process Chains (EPCs). In this paper, we describe three innovative features of the modeling tool: First, the modeler gets continuously feedback about possible modeling problems. Second, there is an option to construct a large part of a model with input from the keyboard only, i.e. without ever touching the mouse. And third, new features can be added to the tool very easily without the need to be familiar with Eclipse development.
