Abstract

This paper proposes an approach to the reuse of business processes. We consider business process reuse as a problem of software economy. An infrastructure component that we call Process Assembler is supposed to aid in business process reuse. That component together with a number of other components could realize an environment for assessing, pricing and trading business processes. We work out the key functionality that needs to be provided by a software component that aids in reusing business processes. Furthermore we discuss a high level architecture for the Process Assembler and argue that this software component can aid users in performing the key reuse functionality.
