Abstract:

The flexibility of an information system depends on the flexibility of its Business Processes (BPs). Thus, designing BPs should take benefit from innovating technologies in order to optimize the flexibility of BPs. Reusing BPs is a challenging goal that can be realized if the constructed process models predict changes and provide the possibility to modify processes without affecting the whole structure of the information system. In this paper, we propose to integrate variability concepts into the BP design. To guarantee the completeness of the approach, we use a multi-view metamodel to put forward the influence of variability on the different perspectives of a BP.
