One of these domains, namely that of organizational behavior, has received significant attention in recent years in the context of business process modeling and management. Another important domain, that of organizational structure is strongly inter-related with the process domain. While the process domain focuses on how the business process activities are structured and performed, the organizational structure domain focuses on who performs these activities, i.e., which kinds of entities in an organization are capable of performing work. Given the strong connection between the organizational behavior and organizational resources, we argue that any comprehensive enterprise modeling technique should explicitly establish the relations between the modeling elements that represent organizational behavior, called here behavioral elements, and those used to represent the organizational resources (organizational actors) involved in these activities, called here active structure elements. Despite the importance of the relations between these architectural domains, many of the current enterprise architecture and business process modeling approaches lack support for the expressiveness of a number of important active structure allocation scenarios. This work aims to overcome these limitations by proposing a framework for active structure assignment that can be applied to enterprise architecture and business process modeling approaches. This framework enriches the expressiveness of existing techniques and supports the definition of precise active structure assignments. It is designed such that it should be applicable to a number of enterprise architecture and business process modeling languages, i.e., one should be able to use and apply different (enterprise and business process) modeling languages to the framework with minor changes.

Um destes domínios, particularmente chamado de comportamento organizacional, tem recebido atenção significativa nos últimos anos no contexto de modelagem e gerenciamento de processos de negócio. Outro domínio importante, chamado de estrutura organizacional, é fortemente inter-relacionado com o domínio de processo. Enquanto o domínio de processo foca em "como" as atividades de processos de negócio são estruturadas e executadas, o domínio de estrutura organizacional foca em "quem" executa essas atividades, i.e., quais tipos de entidades em uma organização são capazes de executar trabalho. Dada a forte conexão entre o comportamento organizacional e os recursos organizacionais, nós argumentamos que qualquer técnica de modelagem de arquitetura organizacional deve explicitamente estabelecer relações entre os elementos de modelagem que representam o comportamento organizacional, chamado aqui de elementos comportamentais e aqueles suados para representar recursos organizacionais (atores organizacionais) envolvidos nestas atividades, chamados aqui de elementos da estrutura ativa. Apesar da importância das relações entre esses domínios arquiteturais, muitas das abordagens de modelagem de processo de negócio e modelagem de arquiteturas organizacionais tem um suporte insuficiente para expressar uma quantidade importante de cenários de alocação da estrutura ativa. Este trabalho visa superar essas limitações propondo um framework para a atribuição da estrutura ativa que pode ser aplicado a abordagens de modelagem de processo de negócio e modelagem de arquitetura organizacionais. Esse framework enriquece a expressividade das técnicas existentes e dá suporte à definição de atribuições precisas da estrutura ativa. Ele é desenvolvido tal que pode ser aplicável a linguagens de modelagem de processo de negócio e linguagens de modelagem de arquiteturas organizacionais, i.e., é possível utilizar e aplicar diferentes linguagens de modelagem ao framework com mudanças mínimas
