Abstract
The literature on Business Process Management (BPM) confirms the importance of establishing process ownership but conventional approaches as BPMN or EPC do not offer a way to represent the process owner. The aspect-oriented business process (AO-BPM) approach makes this issue more prominent because of the separation between crosscutting concerns and the core elements of a process. In this paper we present a way to represent the ownership based on the Strategic Actor model from i* and incorporate this approach to the EPC meta-model. We also provide a proof of concept by means of an example that illustrates our solution.
