		In a peer-to-peer structure, the composite business process is implicitly defined by the flow instances that drive sequencing within the individual processes and by the interaction between the public operations of processes on both sides.
		Process management and monitoring of the overall process status is generally easier in hierarchical structures than in peer-to-peer interactions since the main process provides a single point of control and additional details can be obtained by “drilling down” into the process along the lines of the process hierarchy.
		In the hierarchical case, an owner for the top-level process is identified, whereas in the peer-to-peer case the interoperating partners drive the execution of the various components of the process.
