The process modelling language EPC was invented in 1992. Since then, many variants of EPC have been proposed in literature (see e.g. Riehle et al. 2016 for an overview). A thesis with this topic should compare syntax and formal semantics of different EPC variants. Goal of this thesis is to develop and specify syntax and formal semantics of an integrated EPC approach, based on a meta-model proposed by Jannaber et al. (2016).
