Process-Aware Information Systems : Bridging People and Software through Process Technology
Wiley-Interscience, Hoboken, NJ, (2005)Zusammenfassung
In the last 10 years, there has been an explosion in the number of technologies, standards, and tools to provide process support. The book provides a unified and comprehensive overview of the principles, techniques and technologies underlying the emerging discipline of process aware information systems engineering. It brings together contributions from leading experts in this fast-growing field. Each chapter ends with a collection of thought-provoking exercises, which also makes it ideal as a text book. The book closes with a list of resources including suggested readings as well as URLs of relevant standardization bodies, initiatives, and consortia.
