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} |
