Context-driven Business Process Modelling

Abstract

Business professionals create business process models in order to get an understanding of who is involved and which resources are needed for the execution of a business process. Such business process models are required as a basis for knowledge transfer, quality purposes, regulations, communication between internal and external collaborative partners, or documentation in general. Current process modelling approaches and tools are still very costly, error-prone, and often used in an insouciant manner. For example, changes affecting similar process artefacts need to be executed manually in each embedding model. We aim to increase the reusability of business process knowledge and propose the integration of a context-driver principle for business process modelling.
