Using NFR and context to deal with adaptability in business process models

Business processes can be performed in different ways according to the characteristics of the organizational environment where they are placed. Representing and configuring business processes variability for a specific organization allows the appropriate execution of processes. However, selecting a configuration for business process is a challenging activity. Even though current approaches allow the representation of variability of business process models, the selection of business variants in a given context is a difficult issue. In this paper we advocate the use of Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) associated to contexts in order to configure business process. Thus, we present a configuration approach based on NFR and context models.
