Abstract
Expected behaviour for an organisation is usually described as a set of work processes that has to be carried out. Goal is reached (or task will be fulfilled) when certain pre-described work routines have been completed. For many application domains, for example, in chemical batch processes, automation, control systems, etc., processes are looked at from the technological viewpoint only. Specified relevant work processes do not depend on employees’ decisions and therefore their behaviour is not modelled, as a rule.
