Abstract
In principle, there is wide agreement on the requirement that business processes and their characteristics, as described from the business domain, should be represented by objects in information systems. This paper describes important characteristics of business processes. It demonstrates, by three examples, that state of the art business applications and frameworks do not represent business processes and their characteristics by objects. An outlook is given how this can be done.
