Abstract

Cross-organizational business processes involving multiple participants are choreographed, thus rely on mutual trust of collaborators or need to be coordinated by a central instance. Using Smart Contracts, business processes can be executed without a mutually trusted and centralized orchestrating authority. Former Blockchain-based execution framework proposals focus on orchestration diagrams as a basis for execution. Contrary, this work focuses on BPMN process collaboration diagrams as implementation basis and makes additional transformation steps obsolete. With the herein proposed framework for execution of cross-organizational process collaborations, another approach for the implementation and execution of inter-organizational processes on a Blockchain is presented, including a voting mechanism for process deployment as well as a subscription service to facilitate process handovers between participants more efficiently. The framework is exemplified and evaluated with a use case from a large German industrial manufacturing company.
