Business process composition based on meta models

Abstract

Nowadays, Business Process Management (BPM) technology has been developed and widely applied in small and large scale. There are many companies and organizations implemented business process oriented information systems. Therefore, the flexibility issues become very important in managing large quantity of business processes because business processes are always changing overtime. There is a need of flexible business process models so that every possible changes can be done easily every time. Flexible business process models are represented by a reconfigurable model. In this paper, we proposed a method to manage business process model variations in order to efficiently develop the business process repository. The variation management is done by storing the common business processes and its variation in the repository. Then, we also propose meta models which contain information about the models stored in the repository. The results show that the meta models support the composition process of a new business process based on the common business process. The variation management has achieved to reduce storage redundancy up to 82%.
