BEAR 2.0: Enhancing the Environment Model for Animating Environment-Aware BPMN Collaborations

In most scenarios, to fully understand how organizations work, it is fundamental to study the interplay between the collaboration among process participants and the environment in which they operate. To this aim, we propose BEAR 2.0, a tool for modeling, animating, and debugging environment-aware BPMN collaborations. This version of the tool enhances its predecessor mainly for what concerns (i) the supported environment model, extended with a logical layer to provide abstraction and different levels of granularity, and (ii) the integration of real-world geographic maps, simplifying both the modeling of the environment and the understanding of the process.
