Business Process Management

From the reviews: "Definitely geared toward the academic researcher, this collection of 23 research papers and six prototype demonstrations--all presented at the 2008 6th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM) ... . papers are long enough (usually 16 pages), well written, and structured to also be accessible to the reader with a general interest, as long as he or she has a college-level algebra and graph theory background. ... I am convinced, will remain a human task for a considerable period of time into the future." (Christoph F. Strnadl, ACM Computing Reviews, July, 2009)
