Geschäftsprozessmanagementsystem für mehrstufige Geschäftsprozesse auf Basis von Multilevel Business Artifacts

Abstract This thesis presents the development and implementation of a business process management system (BPMS) tailored for multilevel business processes based on Multilevel Business Artifacts (MBAs). MBAs provide a novel approach to modeling complex business processes that span multiple organizational levels, ensuring synchronization and coordination across different hierarchical layers. By combining data and lifecycle models, MBAs facilitate the transparent and efficient management of intricate, multistage business processes. The core contribution of this work lies in integrating existing research on MBA management and SCXML interpretation, alongside developing a REST interface for system interaction. The implementation leverages XQuery for XML-based querying and modeling of MBAs, with RESTXQ for implementing the REST interface. To validate the system, a practical application from the data analysis domain was used, demonstrating how MBAs can be structured and managed systematically with the implemented business process management system.
