Business process management

Más información sobre el libro

Business process management is viewed from two main perspectives: business administration and computer science. Business administration professionals often regard information technology as a secondary concern, while computer science experts may overlook business goals and organizational regulations. Mathias Weske emphasizes the need for a shared understanding among all stakeholders involved in business process management. He outlines the complete business process lifecycle, from modeling to enactment and improvement. The book begins with foundational concepts and abstraction models, then delves into process orchestrations, choreographies, properties, and data dependencies. It also covers various business process management architectures, including workflow management systems, service-oriented architectures, and data-driven approaches, while integrating standards like WfMC, SOAP, WSDL, and BPEL. This textbook is ideal for courses on business process management, information systems architecture, and workflow management. The 3rd edition introduces a new chapter on business decision modeling, featuring the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard, streamlines the chapter on process choreographies, and includes numerous clarifications. Additional resources and teaching materials are available on the accompanying website.
