Requirement-driven adaptive business processes

With the development of cognitive network, customized telecommunication business requirements emerge in an endless stream. For service providers, how to provide telecommunication services, which meet the specific requirements of stakeholders quickly and efficiently, is a critical problem. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework for obtaining corresponding business process based on the services. According to the theory of software reuse and product line, two kinds of schemas are proposed. A feature model describes a family of business services and adaptive business process describes a family of processes. According to the specific requirements, the feature model is configured and corresponding propositional logic rules are obtained, which can be verified by petri net. In this way, the business process satisfied the requirements are produced automatically.
