Abstract (ENG): |
The control-flow of a business process (BP) defines the allowed execution orders of its activities. Until now, only whole activities can be used to define such orders. This shall be extended: Additional execution orders are enabled by allowing to use the start and the end events of activities at control flow modelling. For example, defining that the end of Act. A must happen before the end of Act. B, increases the flexibility since Act. B can be started earlier as with a classic sequence edge. This paper presents corresponding examples from practice and derives the resulting requirements for BP modelling. Furthermore, possibilities for a BP modelling tool are discussed, to visualize such dependencies graphically. |
