  Abstract

Many of today’s businesses need IT system’s flexibility for on-demand business which can be rapidly adapted to environment changes. Service oriented architecture (SOA) provides the infrastructure which makes business flexibility possible under the on-demand operating environment. Therefore, to satisfy these requirements, new approach for assuring business flexibility and enhancing reuse is needed. In this paper, we propose an approach for developing a business process family model (BPFM) in which the variabilities in business process family can be explicitly represented by using the variability analysis method of software product line. In addition, we describe the supporting tool for this approach. It can model the BPFM and generate automatically BPMs through decision and pruning process from BPFM. By using our approach, the business and its IT system can correspond to business environment changes rapidly and efficiently.
