- Abstract
- Abstract- The objective of this paper is to present a general methodology for the modeling of business processes and achieving the automatic implementation of workflow processes in supporting software architecture. The model has been tested in a reference web architecture, where we have accomplished to create a general workflow management system based on generated processes. The methodology is the outcome of the eBEST project, which deals with equipping SMEs and SME associations with state-of-the-art software tools for ecosystem-wide business collaboration. The architecture serves as a shared environment for the cluster members, where member companies can cooperate on collective activity of common interest. In order to fulfill this requirement, the ecosystems need a workflow management solution that can be freely customized for their specific needs. We have developed a general model of transformation from business requirements to executable process definition and the actual software implementation for automated generation and management of collaborative workflow instances.
