Business process management (BPM) has emerged as a dominant technology in current enterprise systems and business solutions. However, the technology continues to face challenges in coping with dynamic business environments where requirements and goals are constantly changing. In this paper, we present a modelling framework for business processes that is conducive to dynamic change and the need for flexibility in execution. This framework is based on the notion of process constraints. Process constraints may be specified for any aspect of the process, such as task selection, control flow, resource allocation, etc.
