Abstract

We suggest formalising Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) [1] processes using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) [2] and the Abstract State Machine (ASM) method. We describe the benefits of our approach as well as the necessary prerequisites. We argue that such a formalisation will lead to a clearer understanding of the process and a reduction of ambiguity.
