  • IMPLEMENTATION-EMBEDDED AND RUNTIME-RELEVANT BUSINESS PROCESS MODELING
    Publication number: 20160300177
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a method for executing a business process. The method may include receiving a selection of a plurality of sub-process models, corresponding to sub-processes of the business process and selected from a library of standard sub-process models. The method may include receiving user specifications for one or more of the sub-process models, and modifying the sub-process models based on the user specifications. Subsequently, the method may include linking the sub-process models to create one or more process variants and one or more process flows of the business process, and generating, by one or more processors, software artifacts from the process variants. The method may further include executing the process variants, by the one or more processors, by combining dynamically one or more of the software artifacts, triggering one or more of the sub-process models to receive data resulting from the corresponding sub-processes being executed.
