Developing the Architecture of Integrated Information Systems (ARIS House)

Abstract

The meta business process model at level 3 defines designation classes and interrelationships, with which actual business application processes of levels 2 and 1 can be modeled. Due to the fact that the objects at level 2 are instances of the meta level, only those objects for which classes are defined at the meta level can be utilized. Conversely, the business process types modeled at level 2 determine the structure of the actual individual procedures at level 1. Thus, meta models basically determine the capability of business process design.
