Abstract
This demonstration introduces Caterpillar, an open-sourceBusiness Process Management System (BPMS) that runs on top of theEthereum blockchain. Like any BPMS, Caterpillar supports the creationof instances of a process model (captured in the Business Process Modeland Notation – BPMN) and allows users to track the state of processinstances and to execute tasks thereof. The specificity of Caterpillar isthat the state of each process instance is maintained on the Ethereumblockchain, and the workflow routing is performed by smart contractsgenerated by a BPMN-to-Solidity compiler. The compiler supports awide array of BPMN constructs, including user, script and service tasks,parallel and exclusive gateways, subprocesses, multi-instance activitiesand event handlers. The target audience of this demonstration includesresearchers in the area of business process management and blockchaintechnology.
