Abstract

A process management system comprises a process model, a process engine and a process user interface. The process model stores predefined configurable process metadata components of one or more business management processes. The process engine configures the process metadata components. The process engine also generates user interface contents for a specific management process based on a set of the process metadata components relevant to the specific management process. The process user interface presents the user interface contents for configuration of the process metadata components, and for conducting the specific management process using the generated user interface contents.
