A business process is the configuration by which an organization carries out activities its customers. Activities are generally ordered across time and place, with a beginning, an end, and clearly esses are the fundamental building blocks of an organization’s success, information technologies that focus e been good candidates to help organizations to fulfill their corporate visions and to improve their competitive rest has been given to Business Process Modeling (BPM) to leverage the computational power of modern ocument, model, understand and improve their business processes. The focus on BPM has resulted in the dedicated analysis tools for verification, simulation, and process mining, and various process standards
for many of us and for many people it entails a new mindset to ensure a successful outcome and benefit for ooking for literature that guides them in the development of end-to-end applications based on processinking the approach to process modeling. After many years of experience with BPM and associated systems, will help students, researchers and practitioners to exploit BPM and turn promises into tangible results. With ademics and practitioners around the world, the Handbook on Business Process Modeling was shaped ns for understanding the concepts and technologies behind BPM.

It relies on the eXtreme Model-Driven Design (XMDD) and the jABC n development. The second methodology introduces a view-based, model-driven approach for processbased approach separates these concerns into a number of tailored perspectives at different abstraction ss concerns helps reducing the complexity of process development by breaking a business process into nd, the separation of levels of abstraction offers appropriately adapted views to stakeholders, and therefore, s level and at the technical level as well. The last methodology presents a process modeling approach for hind this methodology is that domain specific process models are required both to capture the contents of a ess model in a user friendly way. Therefore, the chapter presents how perspective oriented process el.

Based on these specifications, the dichotomy between ently. The third chapter clarifies that workflow patterns should not be interpreted as a list of constructs that a have. Rather, they show what needs to be expressible by a construct or by a combination of constructs. The w focus: minimality and orthogonality. Minimality tries to minimize the number of constructs that are needed onality means that the constructs are as independent from each other as possible.

In dynamic environments it must be possible to quickly implement new busi¬ness defined business processes on-demand (e.g., by dynamically adding, deleting or moving process activities), to propagate process schema chan¬ges to already running process instances).

It enumerates some of the main advantages achievable s, in exception definition, in the architecture of a workflow management system, and in the scheduling of d chapter discusses the challenges associated with integrating work performed by human agents into ution of business process support systems and concludes that although the support for people integration erms it has not advanced markedly since their inception several decades ago. The chapter explores the ntegration and examines the support for people integration offered by WS-BPEL, which (together with its ons) currently represents the state of the art when defining and implementing business processes in a identifies a gap between the business people expertise and the IT knowledge required to carry out a suitable close the gap is to use technologies developed for the Semantic Web and ontologies. The chapter explains ition between the inherently separate/detached business professionals’ level and the IT level without the ehalf of the business professionals. The fourth chapter presents how model transformation and refinement e code out of business process models.

The first involves the direct ve is the compilation of the model into a lower-level representation amenable to more efficient execution. re (MDA) techniques have been applied with success to the domain of business process modeling. As an idea of compiling business process models has been driving the design of the JOpera for Eclipse workflow w workflow management systems can be extended to support unstructured activities. Workflow systems are o define the details of the work carried out in organizations. Original systems were biased by the rationalistic gid way to achieve their goals. However, organizations also require flexibility when performing their daily cessarily have all the required information to accomplish their work. This chapter describes a solution al workflow systems have while coping with unstructured activities. It makes the assumption that there will e to decide on what are the most suited activities to fulfill organizational goals, with or without restrictions
management can be used in organizations. The first chapter introduces the notion of business process engineer. It enumerates the necessary competencies to define, simulate, analyze and improve business person who holistically uses principles of business process engineering, enterprise integration engineering, hat identify elements such as information sources involved, the roles which use and transform the -end transformation of information along the business. The second chapter introduces the application of B2B) integration and enterprise application integration (EAI). It introduces several integration examples and a focus on process management. Several specific process-oriented integration problems are introduced that hapter is to introduce B2B and EAI integration, to show how process management fits into the conceptual egies to specific process-oriented integration problems. The third chapter is devoted to automated support ement, i.e., formation and enactment of business processes that span multiple autonomous organizations. A ess processes is included to provide a conceptual background. It describes a number of research these approaches and the design of systems. The approaches are described from early developments in the designs based on standardized technology from the service-oriented context. The fourth chapter introduces ocess governance provides enterprises with approaches and toolkits to enhance business process and enterprise people. Business process governance can be seen from four points of view: business process erages to reach enterprise objectives, business process maturity assessment, and enterprise organizational orrectly, allow enterprises to retain competitiveness, improve their business processes and make an efficient s. The last chapter addresses the topic of business process compliance. The chapter provides a solution to mechanisms to check whether business processes are compliant with business contracts. The chapter ss compliance and the eco-system for ensuring that process are compliant. The key point is that compliance ns: the specifications for executing a business process and the specifications regulating a business.
