Abstract

In this chapter, we give an overview of the different models, which extend the core process description of common business process modelling languages. We describe how the models are related to each other and how they can work together—the core process description language, the actor model, the user interaction (dialogue) model, the data model, and the enhanced communication model. For a seamless integration of these models, we present a four-step integration approach of the proposed H-BPM method and show its usability by an illustrative scenario. The integration approach precisely guides process analysts and modellers via defined steps, providing a complete walk-through for modelling business processes in a trustworthy way. In addition, we describe the architecture of the enhanced Process Platform (eP2), which consists of several components to coordinate collaboration of the different models at runtime.
