7.4.1 Business Processes

A flow of operations that implements a series of business processing is called a business process. The elements constituting a business process are called businesses (or services, since they are in a one-to-one relationship with businesses). Additionally, a business process that consists of multiple services is called a complex service. In a business process, multiple businesses are connected smoothly, and are linked in such a way that they can be inter-changed at any point. The following figure shows an overview of a business process.
