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.
