Model- and Architecture-Driven Development in the Context of Cross-Enterprise Business Process Engineering

Modelling and enacting cross-enterprise business processes (CBPs) is a key ability for successfully setting up and managing virtual organizations, e.g. supply chains. In this paper we present and compare approaches for modelling CBPs based on the service-oriented architecture paradigm. By embedding our overall approach into a model- and architecture-driven development perspective, we show how service-oriented systems realising CBPs can be derived from business-level modelling
