Abstract

Different stakeholders in the BPM life cycle benefit from having different views onto a particular process model. Each view can show the details relevant to the particular stakeholder, leaving out the irrelevant ones. However, introducing di erent views on a process model entails the problem to synchronize changes in case that one view evolves. This problem is especially relevant and challenging for views at di erent abstraction levels. In this paper, we propose a Shared Process Model that provides di erent stakeholder views at di erent abstraction levels and that synchronizes changes made to any view. We present the requirements, a solution design and an implementation to demonstrate the feasibility of the Shared Process Model.
