Abstract: Process customization is an essential means to realize personal services of business processes.It provides differential business services by adjusting the internal structure of business process model while using a single software system.However,with the increasing scale and complexity of business processes,the existing process customization technology needs to reconstruct the process model when dealing with those complex and changeable business processes,which affects the development efficiency of process customization.Therefore,providing an efficient process customization method has always been a research hotspot in the field of business processes.From the perspective of multi-tenant application,this paper proposes a dyna-mic customization model of business processes supporting multi-tenant.Firstly,the business sub-process is constructed by means of assembling variable task nodes and then tenant identify identification and process instance derivation are realized by tenant sensor.Secondly,a dynamicprocess customization method is provided for the varying requirements of tenants.Finally,combined with case analysis,the validity of the model is verified.

Key words: Business process, Dynamic customization, Multi-tenant, Personal service, Variability
