Abstract	A promising approach to managing business operations is based on business artifacts (a.k.a. business entities (with lifecycles)). These are key conceptual entities that are central to guiding the operations of a business, and whose content changes as they move through those operations. An artifact type includes both an information model that captures, in either materialized or virtual form, all of the business-relevant data about entities of that type, and a lifecycle model, that specifies the possible ways an entity of that type might progress through the business by responding to events and invoking services, including hu-man activities. While most previous work on business artifacts has focused on the use of lifecycle models based on variants of finite state machines, two recent papers have introduced and studied the Guard-Stage-Milestone (GSM) meta-model for ar-tifact lifecycles. GSM lifecycles are substantially more declar-ative than the finite state machine variants, and support hier-archy and parallelism within a single artifact instance. This paper presents the formal operational semantics of GSM, with an emphasis on how interaction between artifact instances is
