Abstract

Business processes are instrumental to manage work in organisations. To study the interdependencies between business processes, Business Process Architectures (BPA) have been introduced. These express trigger and message flow relations between business processes. When we investigate real world business process architectures we find complex interdependencies, involving multiple process instances. These aspects have not been studied in detail so far, especially concerning correctness properties. In this paper, we propose a modular transformation of BPAs to open nets for the analysis of behavior involving multiple business processes instances with multi-communication.
