KAMP4BP extends KAMP for business-process models. It connects process-oriented artefacts with Palladio Component Model (PCM) concepts and provides EMF models, generated editors, field-of-activity annotations, and business-process-specific modification marks.

Install KAMP4BP from the KAMP update-site page:

https://kamp-research.github.io/KAMP/kamp4bp/

For a complete setup, use the composite update site instead:

https://kamp-research.github.io/KAMP/all/

In Eclipse, open Help > Install New Software..., paste the update-site URL into Work with, select the KAMP4BP feature, and finish the wizard. Restart Eclipse after installation.

KAMP4BP depends on the KAMP and Palladio modelling stack:

• KAMP core for base modification marks and change-propagation infrastructure.
• Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), EMF.Edit, and generated EMF editor support.
• Palladio Component Model (PCM), including usage-model and repository concepts referenced by the business-process model.
• Palladio build dependencies from the Palladio 5.2.1 update sites.
• Eclipse Platform/PDE dependencies from the Eclipse 2023-03 target.

KAMP4BP targets business processes, organizational environments, data objects, device resources, actor resources, and workloads. It is intended for analysing how process, role, data, or resource changes affect business-process-related models and downstream work items.

• bp.ecore: PCM-related business-process extensions. Important elements include ActorStep, Activity, ProcessWorkload, ProcessTriggerPeriod, AcquireDeviceResourceAction, ReleaseDeviceResourceAction, OrganizationEnvironmentModel, Role, ActorResource, DeviceResource, WorkingPeriod, DataObject, CollectionDataObject, CompositeDataObject, and DataModel.
• BPFieldOfActivityAnnotations.ecore: annotations for business-process-specific field-of-activity information such as user action annotations, goods, messages, organizational units, training courses, and process specifications.
• BPModificationmarks.ecore: modification marks such as BPSeedModifications, BPInterBusinessProcessPropagation, BPModifyDataObject, BPModifyActorStep, BPModifyEntryLevelSystemCall, BPModifyDeviceResource, and BPModifyRole.

Model business processes and their organizational/data context with the provided EMF editors. Represent relevant changes as BP modification marks and use KAMP's change-propagation workflow to derive affected process elements and follow-up activities.

KAMP4BP is most useful when process models are maintained together with PCM architecture and usage models, because the BP model references PCM concepts and extends them with process-specific information.
