Paper Abstract:
|
Role-based business process modeling deals with separating the universe of process modeling into different areas of concern by describing how business objects relate to each other during collaborations. A business object represents a concept of interest within the organization, such as an activity or an actor. Business objects play multiple roles according to their behavior while collaborating with other business objects. Collaborations can then be expressed by the roles played by every participant in that scenario. This allows, on the one hand, creating semantically richer business process models, and, on the other, designing business objects where behavior is clearly separated and dependent on its usage context. Both of these results contribute in increasing the understandability of process models and business object reuse. |
