Multilevel business process modeling

Abstract

Conceptual models organize the data as well as the processes from a business domain using a human-readable, yet formal representation language. For static data models, various modeling approaches have been proposed to represent complex multilevel abstraction hierarchies. For process models, though, current modeling approaches do not provide a flexible and powerful formalism for representing complex multilevel abstraction hierarchies. In this paper, we motivate the need for multilevel business process models, present our initial approach, and sketch future research in this area.

Dynamic Socio-technical System Design based on Stakeholder Interaction

“…[40]. For instance, multilevel business artefacts extend object representations (m-objects) by associating with each level of abstraction a single life cycle model that defines the permitted execution order of the methods of the class associated with the respective level [41]. Such an artefact encapsulates in single object information about the static and dynamic aspects of multiple levels of abstraction.…”
