An approach to integrate workflow modeling and organization modeling in an enterprise

In this paper we introduce a framework for enterprise modeling. We specifically introduce the tasks process modeling (workflow modeling) and organization modeling. Processes describe the activities which have to be performed in an enterprise; an organization describes the people and organizational structure of an enterprise. Although these two tasks are independent in principle, they have to be integrated eventually in order to assign organizational elements (e.g. people) to processes. This paper presents a general model for process and organization modeling and shows a script language of a prototype system. The architecture of that prototype is briefly discussed
