Abstract
A business process management system may include a parent workflow process and a child workflow process. The parent workflow process may include a call to the child workflow process. The business process management system may also include a workflow engine that is configured to execute the parent workflow process and the child workflow process, and that is configured to determine an undefined characteristic of the child workflow process with reference to data that corresponds to the parent workflow process.
