Many BPM tools provide mechanisms to adapt reference process models in order to meet new needs. However, this adaptation results in a set of variants which have to be managed. One of the most proposed solutions is the configurable process model. Therefore, evolving this configurable process model in terms of activities, a data flows and resources changes becomes a crucial issue. In this paper, we propose a process pattern which guides designers for managing evolution of configurable reference process models.}, isbn = {978-1-4673-2725-1}, issn = {2327-185X}, author = {Sbai, Hanae and Fredj, Mounia and Kjiri, Laila}, editor = {ElMohajir, M and Begdouri, A and ElMohajir, BE and Zarghili, A} }
