From Theory to Practice - Transfering Innovative BPM Research to Industrial Practice

Ulm University

Invited Keynote at the 6th International Workshop on Evolutionary Business Processes (EVL-BP'13);

Manfred Reichert, Vancouver, Canada, September 9, 2013, 8:45 am

Companies increasingly adopt process-aware information systems to capture, model, execute, monitor, and evolve their business processes. This keynote will draw a retrospective of some of the real-world challenges for business process management that we tackled in various domains (e.g., healthcare, automotive engineering) during the last decade. We will report on research projects which developed innovative technologies for the flexible and efficient support of knowledge-intensive and human-centric business processes. This includes concepts, methods and tools for enabling adaptive and evolutionary processes, data-driven process support, and human-centric workflows. In particular, we will discuss how the technologies we developed in these projects were successfully transfered to industrial practice.
