ABSTRACT
Validation of business process models under involvement of stakeholders is usually performed by moderated model walkthroughs. We explore the potential of combining these established practices with interactive enactment of executable prototypes that is widely used in UI prototyping and model-based interactive system design. Based on these fields, we develop the concept of process elaboration through scaffolded virtual enactment. The proposed concepts are instantiated in a web-based tool that enables to explore the potential of the approach. An initial exploratory study could confirm that the approach is considered supportive by end users and can be used to elaborate existing process models or develop models of work process from ground up.
