Sommario/riassunto

Business process modelling (BPM) is the activity of representing processes of an enterprise so that the current process may be analysed and improved. BPM is typically performed by business analysts and managers who are seeking to improve process efficiency and quality. This book presents current research in the study of business process modelling, including BPM and automation with general and domain specific languages; conceptualising, analysing and communicating the business model and context-aware methods for process modelling.
