Abstract

The paper introduces generic components to BPMN that reduce modelling efforts and ensure higher quality of specifications. The idea is transferred from task models to business process models. Some of the introduced components can be considered as patterns. Therefore, the paper discusses different views on patterns and their relations to reusable generic component. Additionally, different strategies for adaptation like design time adaptation and runtime adaptation of components are discussed. Parameter substitution is supported best by tools. Requirements for such support are finally collected and discussed.
