Abstract

Properties of business processes are investigated in Chapter 6. After investigating the role of data in business processes, the discussion is extended to data objects that contain behaviour. In particular, the relationships between object lifecycles and business processes are investigated, introducing the notion of object lifecycle conformance. In the second part of that chapter, soundness criteria are discussed, ranging from classical soundness to advanced concepts like relaxed soundness and lazy soundness. An overview of the relationships between the soundness criteria complete this chapter.
