The Second Workshop on Data- and Artifact-Centric Business Processes (DAB 2013)

摘要

Traditionally, researchers and practitioners in the field of business process management (BPM) have focused on studying control-flow aspects of business processes independently from data aspects. The separation of concerns between control-flow and data has been fruitful and has enabled the development of various foundational theories and methods for BPM. However, the limits of theories and methods built on this separation of concerns are now becoming evident, particularly with the increasing pressure to support ad hoc and flexible business processes, where control-flow is often intermingled with data.
