Abstract

See full text

A business process (BP) adaptation system (400) includes a High-Variability enriched Goal Model (HVGM) (402) that captures and refines goals of a business process (BP) while modeling alternative options where the model captures non-functional or quality attributes used in an evaluation of a performance of the BP and an estimation of how various BP alternatives affect the quality attributes. The system further includes a High-Variability workflow-level/directly Executable Model (HVEM) (404), where the system is based on goal modeling and analysis for eliciting intentions behind a BP to achieve a desired goal and the HVGM explicitly models non-functional or quality concerns. The system can further include a semi-automatic generator (604) of BP metrics based on the quality attributes specified in the HVGM and a runtime infrastructure (610) where each deployed BP instance reflects a configuration selected for that instance in a corresponding portion of the HVGM.
