BPCMont: Business Process Change Management Ontology
  Change management for evolving collaborative business process development is
crucial when the business logic, transections and workflow change due to
changes in business strategies or organizational and technical environment.
During the change implementation, business processes are analyzed and improved
ensuring that they capture the proposed change and they do not contain any
undesired functionalities or change side-effects. This paper presents Business
Process Change Management approach for the efficient and effective
implementation of change in the business process. The key technology behind our
approach is our proposed Business Process Change Management Ontology (BPCMont)
which is the main contribution of this paper. BPCMont, as a formalized change
specification, helps to revert BP into a consistent state in case of system
crash, intermediate conflicting stage or unauthorized change done, aid in
change traceability in the new and old versions of business processes, change
effects can be seen and estimated effectively, ease for Stakeholders to
validate and verify change implementation, etc.
