Consistency between executable and abstract processes
Abstract
Process models play an all-important role in the development of cross-organizational business processes. On the one hand, the interaction between the participating companies often is specified globally, for example by means of multiple abstract process models - one for each partner. On the other hand, each partner defines its local process autonomously in terms of an executable process model The important question is whether such an executable model is consistent to the predefined abstract model. This paper describes an approach to prow this property automatically. © 2005 IEEE.
