Abstract

The Business Process integration focuses on consolidation of process models in order to changes propagation. The aim of this paper is to propose a constraint-based contextual approach for business process integration. The context model description is through contextual situations represented by a constraint set as well as an inference mechanism. In order to validate the proposed model a case study regarding an admission process of postgraduate careers is perform. The main conclusion of this research is that the contextual variables used in the model directly depend on the process’s execution domain and in consequence affect the possible updates on process models.
