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

Weak Dependencies in Business Process Models
TL;DR: An extension to the traditional process models is presented, where ad hoc, runtime changes to process instances are enabled, and formal description of weak dependencies as well as a proof of concept prototype are presented.
Pattern-Based Evaluation of Scientific Workflow Management Systems
TL;DR: A pattern-based evaluation of three among the most widely used scientific Workflow Management Systems: Kepler, Taverna and Triana is proposed, to compare them with traditional business WfMSs, emphasizing the strengths and deficiencies of both systems.

Implementation Framework for Production Case Management: Modeling and Execution
TL;DR: An implementation framework for Production Case Management (PCM) is proposed that combines concepts from traditional process management and adaptive case management, and combines the modeling of small, static process fragments with the execution flexibility of ACM.

Mining team compositions for collaborative work in business processes
TL;DR: This paper develops a process mining approach that is able to discover team compositions for collaborative process activities from event logs and evaluates the novel mining approach in terms of computational performance and practical applicability.
