【 摘 要 】

In the subject of information systems modelling languages have proven to be an effective mean to design business processes of enterprises and theirinformation systems as well. These modelling languages are specified by meta- models. The choice of elements that are specified by the meta-model, which henceare part of the modelling language, is driven by the modelling languages’ field ofapplication. Areas of special interest for process modelling are inter-organisationalcollaboration scenarios. In this field, new requirements for business processmodels arise with the need to visualize new aspects of business processes. Thereview of existing modelling concepts is necessary to achieve an effective andefficient inter-organisational business process management. This paper motivatesnew requirements for collaborative business process models and presents a meta- model based extension Event-driven Process Chain (EPC), which can be considered as standard language for Business Process Management.
