Abstract

A key element of any approach to meeting the climate change challenge is the ability to improve operational efficiency in a pervasive fashion. The notion of a business process is a particularly useful unit of analysis in this context. In the Abnoba framework, we enable business process management (and in particular, business process design/redesign) with explicit support for the environmental sustainability aspects of processes. This article extends our earlier work on the framework by introducing and elaborating a machinery for (semi-)automated process re-design discovery. The machinery leverages a library of process snippets/fragments, used to replace fragments from the library with fragments of the process design, such that the process re-designs meets functional-, process provisioning-, and compliance requirements and the sustainability profile is improved.
