Description:

A unifying foundation to design and implement process-aware information systems

This 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 process modeling
* Concrete techniques for process design and analysis
* Process execution standards: WfMC and BPEL
* Representative commercial tools: ARIS, TIBCO Staffware, and FLOWer

Each chapter begins with a description of the problem domain and then progressively unveils relevant concepts and techniques. Examples and illustrations are used extensively to clarify and simplify complex material. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises, ranging from simple questions to thought-provoking assignments. Sample solutions for many of the exercises are available on the companion Web site.

Armed with a new and deeper understanding, readers are better positioned to make their own contributions to the field and evaluate various approaches to a particular task or problem. This publication is recommended as a textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in computer science and information systems, as well as for professionals involved in workflow and business process management, groupware and teamwork, enterprise application integration, and business-to-business integration.

描述:



建立統一基礎以設計和實施過程感知的信息系統

本出版物承擔著建立統一基礎和一套共同的基本原則的艱鉅任務,以有效地建模、設計和實施過程感知的信息系統。由該領域的領先專家和先驅撰寫,過程感知信息系統幫助讀者深入了解建構過程感知應用的主要概念、語言和技術,包括:
* UML和EPC:兩種最廣泛使用的業務過程建模符號
* 過程設計和分析的具體技術
* 過程執行標準:WfMC和BPEL
* 代表性商業工具:ARIS、TIBCO Staffware和FLOWer

每章開始時都會描述問題領域,然後逐步揭示相關概念和技術。大量使用示例和插圖來澄清和簡化複雜的材料。每章末尾都有一套練習題,從簡單的問題到發人深省的作業不等。許多練習的樣本解答可在配套網站上找到。

憑藉新的更深入的理解,讀者能夠更好地為該領域做出自己的貢獻,並評估解決特定任務或問題的各種方法。本出版物建議作為計算機科學和信息系統研究生和高級本科生的教科書,以及從事工作流程和業務流程管理、協作軟件和團隊合作、企業應用集成和企業間集成的專業人士。
