Current enterprise systems rely heavily on the modelling and enactment
of business processes. One of the key criteria for a business process
is to represent not just the behaviours of the participants but also
how the contractual relationships among them evolve over the course
of an interaction. In this paper we provide a framework in which
one can define policies/ business rules using deontic assignments
to represent the contractual relationships. To achieve this end we
use a combination of deontic/ normative concepts like proclamation,
directed obligation and direct action to account for a deontic theory
of commitment which in turn can be used to model business processes
in their organisational settings. In this way we view a business
process as a social interaction process for the purpose of doing
business. Further, we show how to extend the i* framework, a well
known organisational modelling technique, so as to accommodate our
notion of deontic dependency.
