Abstract
Evolutionary development in an architecture-centric process involves architectural follow-ups from decision making. The architectural impact of decision-based informatics makes its systematic elicitation necessary in a model-driven traceable process. The paper proposes a systematic way called Process Edification for the elicitation of decision-based informatics during modification and/or composition of business processes. The decision alternatives become edifiers, which can be plugged into a business process as per the architectural needs of evolution. A case study of process edification is presented concerning decisions driven by non-functional requirements. Edification results in making decision-based informatics evident through traceable models and the specifications generated thereafter. The technique is illustrated in the context of BPMN-based process architecture.
