Business processes for business communities: modeling languages, methods, tools

After a brief introduction to the topic of business process modeling, the book offers a quick-start into model-based business process engineering. After that, the foundations of the modeling languages used are conveyed. Meaningful examples are in the foreground - each of the underlying formalisms is treated only as far as needed. Next the Horus Method is described in detail. The book defines a sequence of activities which finally leads to the creation of a complete business process model. The Horus Method, incidentally, is not bound to theuse of the Horus software tools. It can be used with other tools or, if necessary, be used even without tool support. Important application fields of business process engineering are described, where the spectrum ranges from businessprocess reengineering to the development and implementation of information systems. The book concludes with an outlook on the future of business process engineering and highlights current research activities in the area. Unique and practically proven method for business process engineering. Support through a tool that can be freely downloaded. Formally precise foundations based on latest research results. Simulation offers a preview of business process performance. INDICE: Introduction. Practical Introduction to Business Process Engineering. Concepts and Modeling Languages. The Horus Method. Areas of Application. The Future of Business Engineering. Bibliography.
