Multilevel Business Processes

Christoph G. Schuetz examines the conceptual modeling aspects of multilevel business processes without neglecting the implementation aspects. Furthermore, he investigates the advantages of hetero-homogeneous models for quantitative business process analysis. Multilevel models reflect the reality of many information systems. In this respect process-aware information systems are no exception. Multilevel models capture interdependencies between business processes at different organizational levels and allow for a convenient representation of business process variability which, in turn, facilitates the analysis of business processes across different organizational units.

Christoph G. Schuetz is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Business Informatics - Data & Knowledge Engineering of the Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. His research interests include data warehousing, semantic web, business process management, and data privacy.
