Abstract
Business processes are not treated as “first-class objects” in state-of-the-art business applications and frameworks, and their main characteristics that have been determined by business process engineering are usually not represented. A component framework for the composition of business applications from business entity and process components is presented. Its business process components represent isomorphically the business process characteristics; they embody the hierarchical composition of business processes, the well-defined modal processing flow among business activities, and the user-event driven interactive processing. It allows a very high degree of reuse with regard to different aspects, like that of activities by the composition of activities from reusable and pluggable activity components.
