Fabric-processes are processes acting upon a fabric. A fabric is a set of virtualized resources and services supporting business processes. Fabric processes do not directly pursue a business goal, but IT-related goals such as the creation of a cloud-service or its configuration. Fabric-processes differ from business processes in their meta-model. Fabric processes include resources and operations not found in business processes. The meta-model developed enables the proper specification of fabric-processes. We address requirements for specifying fabric-processes by so-called Fabric-Process Patterns. We develop a Fabric-Resource-Meta-Model which implements the Fabric-Process Patterns. The Fabric-Resource-Meta-Model extends existing resource meta-models.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-662-43745-2_10
