Introducing Goal Patterns for State-Oriented Business Process Modeling

Patterns are a proven way to make analysis and/or design effective and efficient. The idea of using patterns in business process modeling is not new. However, it was applied only to workflow type of process modeling. In this paper, we explore an idea of using patterns for a different type of process modeling, namely, state-oriented business process modeling. The idea is introduced using an example of a pattern for decision-making.
