Abstract
The Case Management Modeling and Notation (CMMN)
speci cation, published by the Object Management Group
(OMG) in 2014, describes a declarative style for modeling
business processes. The declarative nature of CMMN is in-
tended to supplement the procedural style of the Business
Process Modeling and Notation (BPMN). Although multi-
ple metrics have been developed and veri ed for BPMN, the
authors are not aware of any metrics developed for CMMN.
Being a relative new process speci cation the understanding
of complexity metrics for CMMN ought to be bene cial for
practitioners and researchers by providing a way to compare
case management models.
This study provides a formal description of CMMN and
three metrics are de ned, namely size, length, and complex-
ity. The metrics are theoretically validated using the formal
framework for software measurements de ned by Briand et
al. and the complexity metric is further validated using
Weyuker's properties for software complexity measures.
