How to compose an Object-Oriented Business Process Model?

Abstract

When modelling business processes, we have to address four key elements: On a conceptual level, we have to define Goals, Activities, and Roles. On a pre-implementation physical level we have to define Objects. In this paper, we examine step by step how business processes can be modelled, which data are needed for each step and which result would be produced during each step. Furthermore, we suggest that most object-oriented modelling methods do not pay enough attention to the process of eliciting relevant objects.
