Abstract

Enterprises must flexibly and agilely change their business processes in response to changes in their business environment to survive in the intensely competitive society in these days. But, it is difficult to describe knowledge about the business processes and to share and accede to it in the enterprises because a business process is a complex behavior of intangible entities. Software development is also description of intangible entities' complex behavior but we can share knowledge about software development by utilizing various patterns. Generally, business processes are described by graphical and procedural notation such as Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). Therefore, it is difficult to share and accede to knowledge as patterns. In this paper, we show that business processes can be patternized by describing them declaratively and the knowledge about them can be shared and acceded to.
