Meta-model Tailoring for Situation-aware Business Process Modelling

Current environments are dynamic. For surviving, organisations should be adaptable to and interoperable with these environments; their Business Processes (BPs) have to provide means to suit the effectiveness requirements. The most important success factors are flexibility and adaptability. Situational engineering has proved its effectiveness, in terms of flexibility and reuse, in many engineering domains such as software and IS development. So reasoning on a situational approach is a challenging research work which can contribute to increase flexibility of models and their adaptability to different organisation settings. The paper deals with creating meta-models for BP modelling which adapt to the situation at hand.
