Business processes can be performed in different ways according to the characteristics of the organizational environment where they are placed. Representing and configuring business processes variability for a specific organization allows the appropriate execution of processes. However, selecting a configuration for business process is a challenging activity. Even though current approaches allow the representation of variability of business process models, the selection of business variants in a given context is a difficult issue. In this paper we advocate the use of Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) associated to contexts in order to configure business process. Thus, we present a configuration approach based on NFR and context models.
