Abstract: Business processes reuse is key for more efficient business process models used during requirements elicitation. A configurable process model specifies multiple alternatives of a business process model, identifying variabilities and commonalities in a business domain. Reusable business processes models can be achieved through process patterns that must preserve semantics after model composition. Current approaches lack systematic and pattern-based mechanisms for the construction of a configurable process model. This paper defines an approach to build and configure a process-oriented feature model (POFM) aiming at representing a family of business process models by means of its reusable process modules. Modules may be concrete or abstract, and composed via mandatory, optional, alternative and multiple relationships. POFM captures a business process family, and the configuration process maintains the semantic properties of business process models.
