作者:

Highlights:

• 41 existing BPMS architectures in the literature were systematically analyzed.

• The architectures were compared based on a 5-aspect classification framework.

• Most of the architectures have been composed from scratch.

• Around 54% of the architectures have already been implemented.

• Few architectures have adequately addressed the concept of service collaborations.
