Recent years have witnessed the evolution of business process specification frameworks from the traditional process-centric approach towards data-awareness. Process-centric formalisms focus on control flow while under-specifying the underlying data and its manipulations by the process tasks, often abstracting them away completely. In contrast, data-aware formalisms treat data as first-class citizens. A notable exponent of this class is the
business artifact model
pioneered in [46, 34], deployed by IBM in professional services offerings with associated tooling, and further studied in a line of follow-up works [4, 5, 26, 27, 6, 38, 33, 35, 42]. Business artifacts (or simply “artifacts”) model key business-relevant entities, which are updated by a set of services that implement business process tasks. A collection of artifacts and services is called an
artifact system
. This modeling approach has been successfully deployed in practice, yielding proven savings when performing business process transformations [5, 4, 15].
