Hereby, we show the importance of both Requirements Engineering (RE) and Business Process Management (BPM) to that application. We highlight the main features of Business-Process-as-a- Service (BPaaS) and the Cloud Blueprint approach, and explain how the integration of requirements following a standard classification allows to enhance the interoperability with other existing models. This is done by means of a business process example modelled with BPMN and later translated to the Blueprint Specification Language (BSL) with the help of RE.enRequirements engineering and business process management as preconditions for the application of the cloud blueprinting modelText/Conference Paper1617-5468
