Abstract

To facilitate customer adaptation, extensibility constitutes an attractive design choice for providers of business software. However, most works in the context of business application extensibility are focusing on the code level. Lacking a conceptual foundation, such extensibility has shortcomings with respect to the understandability and the development of extensions. Addressing these issues, this paper presents the novel concept of business process extensions as first-class entities. We apply a model-driven approach which focuses on the business process layer and uses aspect-oriented modeling implicitly.
