This paper comparatively assesses four popular process modeling paradigms in order to provide insights on the extent of flexibility they provide. Our study also reveals and compares flexibility in eight Business Process Management Systems (BPMS), based on a questionnaire proposed to senior researchers and developers of these systems.engcomparative studyprocess modeling paradigmsquestionnaireflexibilityBPMSjournal article10.1016/j.procs.2015.08.514
