• Sommario/riassunto: A unifying foundation to design and implement process-aware information systemsThis publication takes on the formidable task of establishing a unifying foundation and set of common underlying principles to effectively model, design, and implement process-aware information systems. Authored by leading authorities and pioneers in the field, Process-Aware Information Systems helps readers gain a thorough understanding of major concepts, languages, and techniques for building process-aware applications, including:* UML and EPCs: two of the most widely used notations for business proces
