Abstract
Reference models for business processes have been a successful means for designing, redesigning, tailoring, and implementing business processes. Still, there is no common understanding of reference models for business processes:
– What is a reference model?
– What makes them different from a business process model?
– What should be covered by a reference model?
– What is their purpose and how should they be used?
– How should they be designed and presented?
The Workshop on Business Process Models (BPRM 2005), which was held as a satellite event of the Third International Conference on Business Process Management, Nancy, France, September 5, 2005, aimed at discussing these questions and coming to a common understanding of the terms and the interesting research issues in this field. Up to now, business process reference modelling has been mainly a German issue. One of the goals of the workshop was to discuss the issue internationally and to create an international ‘Reference Modelling Community.
