Abstract: In order to meet the diverse needs of users,the process model needs to be configured according to the actual needs of users.However,in the process of process model configuration,problems such as unreasonable configuration or changing region are prone to occur.To solve these problems,a method for changing region analysis of configurable business process models based on business capabilities was proposed.Firstly,according to the categories and attributes of the business capabilities,two configurable source models are configured and merged.Then,the difference of connector types between the available business capability annotation models is analyzed to find the change region of the configurable process model.The exact change area of the configurable source model is found through the mapping relationship between the process models.Finally,the relevant example analysis is given to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: Business capability, Change region, Configurable process model, Connector
