Business Process Management
(KM-BPM)



An Activity is an element that performs a specific function within a process. Activities can be as simple as sending or receiving a message, or as complex as coordinating the execution of other processes and activities. [PO-JRA-2.1.1] {SYN: Task, Business Activity}
Service Composition and Coordination
(KM-SC)

Adaptation of activities requires the knowledge of their properties and dependencies. Monitoring activities means to assess the important properties and dependencies and report characteristic and abnormal changes.[PO-JRA-2.3.2] {GEN: Adaptation}

Specific activities have usually their individual dependencies. These dependencies include results from other activities, e.g. request-response, a whole process, e.g. quality assurance, or requirements from the context, e.g. hw and sw.[PO-JRA-2.3.2] {GEN: Context}
Service Infrastructure
(KM-SI)
