Abstract

To support the constant evolution of modern enterprises, business process models are becoming exponentially more complex. Business process composition is regarded as a flexible mechanism capable to cope with this issue and make processes easier to understand, maintain and evolve. Composition operators are the foundation and the enablers of process composition. BPMN, the standard language for modelling business processes, is lacking such composition operators. Therefore, in this paper, we propose to extend the BPMN standard with a set of composition operators and with the concept of composition interface.
