  Process Modeling
Existing process models typically describe a process in terms of activity steps and entity flows (p1)
Although these characteristics of organizational environment [to be open, distributed, evolving] were identified, most of the process models developed in this research area have focused on the technical systems that support work, rather on understanding and redesigning the work processes. (p7)

entity flow
A resource dependency is different from the usual notion of a "flow" [of entities] in that the latter does not indicate the presence or absence of intentionality in the flow. A resource flow does not necessarily imply a resource dependency. For example, if a cashier woudl not suffer whether or not the custome's credit information was available, then that information is a mere flowm not a resource dependency. (p14)
