Business Process Configuration with NFRs and Context-Awereness

[Context] Business process models are an important source of information for the development of information systems. Good business processes need to be up-to-date and automated to represent the organizational environment. Representing and configuring business processes variability for a specific organization allows the proper execution of processes. In addition, dynamic environment calls for flexible configuration processes that can meet stakeholders’ goals. [Question/Problem] Even though current approaches allow the representation of variability of business process models, the selection of business variants in a given context remains a challenging issue. [Main idea] In this proposal, we advocate the use of Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) and contextawareness information to drive the configuration of process models at run-time. In particular, we evaluate the use of NFRs to describe the stakeholders’ preferences. [Contribution] We propose a model-driven business process configuration approach that is driven by NFRs and contextual information.
