Business Object-centric BPM
Reconciling Activity-centric and Business Object-centric Approaches in BPM
SUMMARY:
Business process models are a fundamental instrument for analysing and
automating the operations of organisations.
At present, the space of business process modelling techniques is
characterised by fragmentation with various approaches striking different tradeoffs.
Two major families of approaches can be distinguished:
activity-centric and business object- centric.
These approaches correspond to complementary viewpoints.
We see great potential in creating a level of integration between them.
Accordingly, the project will investigate the relative expressiveness of these approaches,
identify incompatibilities and synergies, and design model transformations.
This will establish a foundation for next-generation business process modelling tools.
