Abstract:

Context-awareness has emerged as a new perspective for business process modelling. Even though some works have studied it, many challenges have not been addressed yet. There is a clear need for approaches that (i) facilitate the identification of the context properties that influence a business process and (ii) provide guidance for correct modelling of contextualised business processes. This paper addresses this need by defining an approach for business process contextualisation via context analysis, a technique that supports reasoning about context and discovery of its relevant properties. The approach facilitates adequate specification of context variants and of business process execution for them. As a result, we obtain business processes that fit their context and are correct. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
