[HELP!] BPMN adoption and use: a quick survey

I'm working hard on BPMN and particularly I'm interested now in collecting usage information, considering both BPMN 1.2 and BPMN 2.0. To do so I prepared a brief on-line survey I ask you to fill. It will take you less than 10 minutes, but your contribution would be really fundamental and precious. I'll send you the results of this work as soon as possible. I plan to close the poll by mid April, so, please, try to allocate few minutes of your time to help me sharing your expertise.

A DESIGN METHODOLOGY FOR BPMN
Michele Chinosi and Alberto Trombetta, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy

We present our contributions to business process design. Our starting point has been a thorough analysis of the OMG standard BPMN. While uncovering several of BPMN’s weak points, our analysis has brought in a novel three-phase design methodology for BPMN. Having a business processes notation and a corresponding conceptual model is not enough when dealing with the modeling of large, complex business processes. As already done in several other contexts, we provide a modeling methodology to support users design and represent business processes. Often, in real scenarios business processes are described using (more or less formalized) graphical languages and/or models. During the last few years, several efforts have been made in order to provide tools to accomplish this requirement, the more notable being WS-BPEL, XPDL, UML, BPMN. As another active line of work, there have been several attempts to provide formalization.
