Abstract
As in the foundation and principles for complex process science and engineering, a major problem is the lack of formal specification language to treat the dynamics of modeling complex processes with its simulations, emulations and enactments. This paper defines a formal specification language which allows integrating the complex thinking with software engineering principles for guiding the characterization of minimum requirements to design technology within living complex processes. There is a lack of research in the literature referring to the model process structural complexity. Such a model complex process can be directed toward acquiring good maintainability attributes according to the principles of complex process science and engineering. In this work a Value Based Business Process Management Network Model (VBPMN) is developed to acquire directly from the target complex process codes the knowledge hidden among and within composite and elementary complex processes.
