BPMN Layout Generators

⚠️ THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT ⚠️

Tools for generating the graphical layout of the BPMN process (BPMNDI Graphical Model) in BPMN files. They can be used with diagrams containing only the BPMN Semantic part or to replace the existing BPMNDI part.

Plan work for the 1st implementations

• based or partially based on https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221542866_A_Simple_Algorithm_for_Automatic_Layout_of_BPMN_Processes
• will be implemented in Java. If it works, javascript/TypeScript and R implementations will be done

Implementations

• java
