Extending BPMN to Enable the Pre-Modelling of Flexibility for the Control Flow of Business Processes

Abstract

Pre-modelling of already known flexibility requirements of business processes (BP) already at build-time has the advantage that the resulting run-time deviations can be reviewed and approved. Furthermore, this results in less effort for the end users compared to completely dynamic changes at run-time. Corresponding concepts have been developed in previous work. In this paper we present an extension of the BPMN standard. It allows to model corresponding BP with existing BP modelling tools. Scientific literature is analysed in order to identify suitable methods for BPMN extensions. Then, they are used to develop a BPMN extension that allows the creation of BP models that contain the mentioned pre-modelled flexibility aspects.
