Business process modeling focus on describing how activities interact with other business objects while sustaining the organization's strategy. Business objects are object-oriented representations of organizational concepts, such as resources and actors, which collaborate with one another in order to achieve business goals. These objects exhibit different behavior according to each specific collaboration context. This means the perception of a business object depends on its collaborations with other objects. Business process modeling techniques do not clearly separate the multiple collaborative aspects of a business object from its internal aspects, making it difficult to understand objects which are used in different contexts, thus hindering reuse. To cope with such issues, this paper proposes using role modeling as a separation of concerns mechanism to increase the understandability and reusability of business process models. The approach divides a business process model into a business object model and a role model. The business object models deals with specifying the structure and intrinsic behavior of business objects while the role model specifies its collaborative aspects.
