An Aspect Architecture for Open Exchange of Administrative Controls for Business Processes

Besides business objectives, organizations also have control goals concerning how these objectives are met. To achieve control goals, many organizations insert control activities into their business processes. Over time, controls pile up and tangle with other activities; making it difficult to manage and reengineer evolving processes. In this paper, we propose an architecture that enables a clear separation of controls from operational activities. The proposed architecture aims to support the open exchange of control solutions among similar organizations that wish to exchange detailed knowledge about organizational control techniques.
