Increasing adoption of business process management systems has resulted in large business process models comprising hundreds of activities. Particularly, such process models are hard to understand and maintain. This issue requires innovative approaches to simplify and personalize process models. Therefore, this thesis introduces fundamentals for process views offering personalized perspectives for process participants by abstracting not necessary information. Furthermore, an approach for a domain-specific process modeling language, so-called Process Query Language, is presented. The latter offers process modeling notation independent abilities to define, search, and modify process models as well as process views. The proof-of-concept implementation, so-called Clavii BPM platform, shows up as integrated solution for simple, web-based business process modeling and execution. Thus, it implements basic concepts for process views and the PQL language
