Evaluation of Paradigms Enabling Flexibility - BPMSs Comparative Study

Abstract

In this paper, we make a comparative study between several paradigms that provide flexibility: constraint based, rule based, case handling and adaptive process support paradigms. We evaluate existing Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) using the taxonomy of Regev et al. in order to assign a flexibility score to each of the corresponding paradigms.
