Abstract

Business is increasingly characterized by interactions among responsive stakeholders rather than the functional decomposition of work. The subject-oriented approach to BPM (S-BPM) is considering this requirement by sending and receiving messages enveloping functional task accomplishment. Subjects represent the information processing entities in a business process. They communicate with each other in order to coordinate their work by exchanging information which is contained in so called business objects. Subjects are embedded into some organizational and technical environment. Agents assigned to subjects (people or technical equipment) execute the actions defined in the subject specification. Business objects can be implemented as information containers or any tangible goods which are transported between agents. This separation of logical model and its implementation increases the flexibility of business processes management, as revealed by several academic and industrial S-BPM projects. Finally, the structuring of processes models as interacting entities facilitates coordinating business process management activities.
