A survey on state of the art to facilitate modelling of cross-organisational business processes

Interoperability is one of the current key challenges addressed by research and industry. Tools and methodologies are emerging to enable modelling and execution of cross-organisational business processes, and standards are being defined using guidelines and best practice approaches. In this context we observe the shortcoming of a comprehensive and structured state-of-the-art analysis. We therefore define modelling requirements that derive from an analysis of various collaborative business scenarios. Based on these requirements we evaluate and measure relevant work in modelling of cross-organisational business processes. Thereby we focus on the strength and weaknesses of the different approaches.
