Specifically, an existing business process model can be analyzed according to business process requirements, configuration parameters required by the business process model are determined, and the configuration parameters can be used for supplementing the business process model so as to generate a business process adapting to the business process requirements through the supplemented business process model.

It should be noted that, the specific manner of determining the configuration parameters of the adaptive business process model according to the business process requirements is not particularly limited in this disclosure.

In an example embodiment of the present disclosure, after the business process model and the configuration parameters of the business process model are obtained through the above steps, a business process adapted to the business process requirements may be generated according to the business process model and the configuration parameters of the business process model.
