Popis: Business Process Management is a powerful approach forthe automation of collaborative business processes. Recently conceptshave been introduced to allow batch processing in business processesaddressing the needs of different industries. The existing batch activityconcepts are limited in their flexibility. In this paper we contribute differentstrategies for modeling and executing processes including batch workto improve the flexibility 1) of business processes in general and 2) of thebatch activity concept. The strategies support different flexibility aspects(i.e., variability, looseness, adaptation, and evolution) of batch activities.The strategies provide a systematic approach to categorize existing andfuture batch-enabled BPM systems. Furthermore, the paper provides asystem architecture independent from existing BPM systems, which allowsfor the support of all the strategies. The architecture can be usedwith different process languages and existing execution environments ina non-intrusive manner.
