A Lifecycle Model for Using Process Fragment in Business Process Modeling

Business organizations strive to increase the quality of their business processes and the productivity in modeling the business processes. Reuse of process modeling artifacts can contribute to achieving this goal. In this paper, we propose a lifecycle model for reusing process fragment in business process modeling, which (i) guides the business user in understanding and adopting the concepts of using process fragment in business process modeling; (ii) guides the development of business process modeling tool and business process repository that support reusing process fragment in business process modeling.
