Carbon-Aware Business Process Design in Abnoba

A key element of any approach to meeting the climate change challenge is the ability to improve operational efficiency in a pervasive fashion. The notion of a business process is a particularly useful unit of analysis in this context. This article describes a subset of the Abnoba framework for green business process management and shows how an algebraic framework can be leveraged to enable an environmental assessment on multiple heterogeneous dimensions (of qualitative or quantitative nature). Furthermore, a machinery for process improvement is outlined.
