TLDR
Matthias Weske argues that all communities involved need to have a common understanding of the different aspects of business process management, and details the complete business process lifecycle from the modeling phase to process enactment and improvement, taking into account all different stakeholders involved.Abstract:
Business process management is usually treated from two different perspectives: business administration and computer science. While business administration professionals tend to consider information technology as a subordinate aspect in business process management for experts to handle, by contrast computer science professionals often consider business goals and organizational regulations as terms that do not deserve much thought but require the appropriate level of abstraction. Matthias Weske argues that all communities involved need to have a common understanding of the different aspects of business process management. To this end, he details the complete business process lifecycle from the modeling phase to process enactment and improvement, taking into account all different stakeholders involved. After starting with a presentation of general foundations and abstraction models, he explains concepts like process orchestrations and choreographies, as well as process properties and data dependencies. Finally, he presents both traditional and advanced business process management architectures, covering, for example, workflow management systems, service-oriented architectures, and data-driven approaches. In addition, he shows how standards like WfMC, SOAP, WSDL, and BPEL fit into the picture. This textbook is ideally suited for classes on business process management, information systems architecture, and workflow management. This 2nd edition contains major updates on BPMN Version 2 process orchestration and process choreographies, and the chapter on BPM methodologies has been completely rewritten. The accompanying website www.bpm-book.com contains further information and additional teaching material.read more

Empirical Studies in Process Model Verification
TL;DR: This paper compares the few studies that report results from applying verification techniques to real-world process model collections, and examines the different approaches, their computational performance, and the number of errors found.

The Impact of Testcases on the Maintainability of Declarative Process Models
TL;DR: Data gathered in this experiment shows that the adoption of testcases significantly lowers cognitive load and increases perceived quality of changes, while modelers who had testcases at hand performed significantly more change operations, while at the same time the quality of process models did not decrease.

Process mining: discovering and improving Spaghetti and Lasagna processes
TL;DR: This invited keynote paper demonstrates that process mining can be used to discover a wide range of processes ranging from structured processes (Lasagna processes) to unstructured processes (Spaghetti processes), and presents the L* life-cycle model consisting of five phases.

A systematic review on security in Process-Aware Information Systems - Constitution, challenges, and future directions
TL;DR: It is shown that state of the art provides a rich set of methods such as access control models but still several open research challenges remain and that security in PAIS is a challenging interdisciplinary research field that assembles research methods and principles from security and PAIS.
