Sumario:[EN] This paper discusses how to close the gap between two separate worlds referred to as Business Process (BP) and Internet of Things (IoT). The former captures organizations' know-how like claim processing while the latter manages physical devices/things like sensors provisioning services to users. Building upon the Business Process Model Notation (BPMN), an OMG standard for BP modeling, the Web-of-Thing Thing Description (WoT-TD), a W3C standard for thing representation, and the Open Digital Rights Language (ODRL), a W3C recommendation for asset control, the paper introduces e\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\mathcal {X}$$\end{document}tended Business Process Model Notation (\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\mathcal {X}$$\end{document}BPMN) for modeling Thing-aware Processes (TaPs) along with executing them on a microservice-based process engine. Experiments in the paper demonstrate the technical doability of closing the gap between the BP and IoT worlds.
