Abstract: In this research, we present a new general purpose methodology for aspectised modelling of the context of business processes within the different business domains and also for modelling business processes as goal-oriented finite state machines. Being dependent on context-awareness and goal-orientation, our method deduces recommendations for improving the business process flow. We envisioned how context may be conceptualised, how contextual elements may be distributed across business operational levels according to the goals of the business process, and how business process flow recommendations based on the aspectised contextual facts may materialise. We made our vision concrete by implementing a prototypical framework and we tested our framework within the airlines and telecom business domains. The experimental results showed significant improvement in the financial costs and execution time. The results proved the importance of integrating context-awareness, context-modelling and goal-orientation in the field of business process modelling as well as configuration and decision making.
