Business process modeling based on workflow model reuse

Workflow is a widespread technology and useful in business processes modeling. It can improve enterprises' competitiveness by increasing productivity and enhancing services for customers. A lot of workflow models have been accumulated in business application. These modeling experience are valuable and hard to acquire, and workflow models are similar in some degree if they are classified according to the business domain. If these models can be reused in practice, then it will improve the quality and efficiency of the modeling. For the goal, this paper proposes the system architecture to reuse the workflow models, and describe the modeling process.
