ABSTRACT
Interorganizational business processes aim to integrate local processes to support the seamless cooperation of organizations. Process view approaches are an adequate method balancing the communication requirements for enabling collaboration and the required privacy hiding internals of private business processes. We focus on a top-down scenario for the development of interorganizational processes, where first an abstract global process is designed. Then each step of the global process is assigned to one of the partners and a local process is generated for each partner as a view on the global process. Finally, the partners implement or adopt their processes based on their views. We present an algorithm for the fully automatic generation of views for any block-structured input process with arbitrary partner assignments, provide a method for merging the partner's views to reconstruct the global process and prove the correctness of the view generation method.
