Abstract
This paper introduces Context-BPMN4V, an extension of BPMN for modeling variability of processes using versions and also considering their contextual dimension. More precisely, it shows how we extend BPMN meta-models to support version modeling to deal with process adaptation, along with context modeling to characterize the situations in which instances of processes are executed. Because of space limitation, this paper only focuses on intra-organizational processes.
