Zusammenfassung
Reusing business process models and process-related artefacts is deemed an essential factor in BPM initiatives by researchers and practitioners. The reuse of corresponding artefacts has been researched and practiced for almost 40 years. Yet, with the growing adoption of component- and platform-based information systems, a current review of how we view and conduct reuse in Business Process Automation becomes necessary. The advent of citizen developers further increases the need for a consolidated overview of the knowledge on reuse. As citizen developers are not trained to conduct reuse, guidance on how to harness the potential of reuse is needed. Based on a literature review, we identify four main layers on which process automation artefacts are reused and list ex- emplary technologies and methodologies. In addition, we systematize nine characteristics of reused automation artefacts and nine characteristics that describe a concrete instance of reuse. Finally, we provide a research agenda.
