Hi,
yes, I have. Here are two papers that I have written. They are very
similar. The references are:
1) Thompson, S.G., Odgers, B.R. & Kendall, E.A. "Asope and the fable
of process knowledge capture and reuse",
British Telecom Technical Journal (BTTJ), 17,4, October 1999.
2) Thompson, S.G. & Odgers, B.R. "Aspect-Oriented Process Engineering
(ASOPE)",
Workshop on AOP at European Conference on Object Orientated Programming,
Lison, Portugal, 1999.

As a part of my phd work, I have used CBR techniques to promote business
process reuse. A paper is given at:
http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/daidb/people/homes/jessicac/jessica.html
You are much welcome to have a look at it.

Hi,
I think Steinar Carlsen in SINTEF has worked on business process reuse.
His homepage is http://www.informatics.sintef.no/~sca/.
See in particular his phd. thesis.
Regards, Babak.

I'll look for some references on business process reuse, but I think
the closest good information will be either in the analysis pattern literature
(OOAD),
reusable use cases, or in the ERP literature (where every business
process supported by the software is assumed to be reused, whether the
receiving
organization utilizes the same business process or not).

Danny,
the Coordination Center at MIT directed by T. Malone has finished a
" Organizational Handbook" resulting in PIF (Process Interchange Format).
It
focuses on process reuse, like process generaization, specilization,
inheritance, etc.

I presume you know that Prof.Tom Malone of MIT Sloan School of Management
has been recording/capturing business processes for a number of years and
recently formed a company, Phios, which sells these generic processes.
He would be a good person to contact. He has undoubtedly written at least
several articles on the subject of capture and reuse. He started the Center
for Coordination Science at MIT a number of years ago.

If you haven't already take a look at the process handbook at MIT's
Center for Coordination http://ccs.mit.edu/ . You might also look for stuff
under the
headings 'best practices' and benchmarking. Although not literature
you could see http://www.apqc.org/best/
