Topics covered include: The fundamentals of business process
modeling, including workflow patterns, an in-depth treatment of

on-the-fly changes, unexpected exceptions, and constraint-based
processes, Technological aspects of a modern BPM environment,

engine, resource handler and other support services, a comparative

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the field of
Business Process Management (BPM) with a focus on Business Process
Automation. It achieves this by covering a wide range of topics,
both introductory and advanced, illustrated through and grounded in
the YAWL (Yet Another Workflow Language) language and corresponding
open-source support environment. In doing so it provides the reader
with a deep, timeless, and vendor-independent understanding of the
essential ingredients of business process automation.
The BPM field is in a continual state of flux and is subject to
both the ongoing proposal of new standards and the introduction of
new tools and technology. Its fundamentals however are relatively
stable and this book aims to equip the reader with both a thorough
understanding of them and the ability to apply them to better
understand, assess and utilize new developments in the BPM
field.
As a consequence of its topic-based format and the inclusion of
a broad range of exercises, the book is eminently suitable for use
in tertiary education, both at the undergraduate and the
postgraduate level, for students of computer science and
information systems. BPM researchers and practitioners will also
find it a valuable resource. The book serves as a unique reference
to a varied and comprehensive collection of topics that are
relevant to the business process life-cycle.
