Variability in business processes and software: process families
Latin American School of Business Process and Software Variability
22, 23 and 24 October.
As part of their daily operations, organisations perform business processes to achieve their objectives. Many processes can be seen as a general framework adaptable to different organisations, each with its own technological and domain particularities. Even the same process may vary within an organisation according to business aspects, such as sales processes for different products. In the last decade, proposals have emerged to deal with process variability by avoiding modelling each variant in isolation, as this implies duplication of work and makes it difficult to maintain commonalities. These proposals propose defining a family of processes with variants, i.e. the elaboration of a common base process (called a configurable process) together with the variants that each particular process requires. In general, process modelling languages do not explicitly support the representation of variability and existing proposals lack methodological and technological support to facilitate the configuration of variants.
