Abstract
A buffer may be configured to store a plurality of items, and to be accessed by one or more activities of an instance of a process model. A scheduler may be configured to schedule execution of each of a plurality of activities of the process model, and to determine an activation of an activity of the plurality of activities. The scheduler may include an activity manager configured to access an activity profile of the activity upon the determining of the activation, the activity profile including buffer access characteristics according to which the activity is designed to access the buffer. A process execution unit may be configured to execute the activity and may include a buffer access manager configured to access the buffer according to the buffer access characteristics of the activity profile, and to thereby facilitate an exchange of at least one item between the buffer and the activity.
