Towards a Reference Architecture for the Co-evolution of Business Processes

In large organisations different stakeholders are usually responsible for the management of business processes. This paper addresses the situation where multiple stakeholders with different interests are handling parts of the same business processes. One technique to support this are process views where each stakeholder holds a personal view which can be executed or changed. In this paper we investigated the requirements on view management for the co-evolution of business processes. A literature review revealed that there is no approach that can support all requirements. We therefore propose an architecture which can overcome existing gaps.
