The use of software reuse techniques in the context of business processes, such as Business Process Lines (BPL), makes viable the efficient reuse of business process models. In this context, it is highlighted the importance of computational support to aid the creation, instantiation and evolution of BPLs, once that the models created are complex due to the domain inherent characteristics and the dynamism of the business. The objective of this paper is to present an evolution to the BPL-Framework 1.0, tool responsible for creating BPLs, to also include the instantiation of this kind of line. The tool facilitates the resolution of variability throughout the instantiation and generates the instance automatically without human intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
