Abstract
The classic approach of a Business Process Life Cycle, where a process model will be defined, modeled, simulated, deployed and then executed to get monitored, analyzed and finally optimized to start the cycle again, often does not match the needs of new dynamic requirements on Business Process Management Systems (BPMS). Practical use cases for a more dynamic BPM are emergent processes, which occur in situations, where it is necessary to react at execution time on business transactions, e.g. Adaptive Case Management (ACM) and flexible processes. Even S-BPM, an approach which enables BPM especially in processes mostly controlled by human interaction, is working with a static process model that is executable, but not changeable during execution. ModelAsYouGo shows a way to (re-) design a S-BPM process model, whose workflow is not or just partly known at modelling time, while actually executing the process. By exploiting S-BPM’s focus on interaction ModelAsYouGo allows process participants to design their process models in a collaborative manner.
