This book constitutes the proceedings of the BPM Forum of the 19th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2021, which will take place in Rome, Italy, in September 2021.

The BPM Forum offers innovative research papers characterized by their high potential of stimulating interesting discussion and scientific debate, although without yet reaching the same rigor as the papers accepted for the main conference. In this sense, the BPM Forum papers are characterized by novel ideas about emergent BPM topics.

The 16 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 123 submissions to the main conference. They cover all areas of business process management, from process definition to variability, execution, visualization, monitoring, mining, and optimization.  

The 23 full papers, one keynote paper, and 4 tutorial papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 92 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: foundations, engineering, and management.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereedpost-workshop proceedings of two workshops held at the International Conferenceon Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, AIME 2015, held in Pavia, Italy, inJune 2015: the 7th International Workshop on Knowledge Representation forHealth Care, KR4HC 2015, and the 8th International Workshop on Process-orientedInformation Systems in Healthcare, ProHealth 2015.

The 10 revised full papers were carefullyreviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The papers are organized in topicalsections on knowledge-driven health IT and simulation, clinical guideline andclinical pathway support, mobile process and decision support, and healthinformation systems and clinical data.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of ten international workshops held in Innsbruck, Austria, in conjunction with the 13th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2015, in September 2015.

 This book provides a state-of-the-art perspective on intelligent process-aware information systems and presents chapters on specific facets and approaches applicable to such systems. Further, it highlights novel advances and developments in various aspects of intelligent process-aware information systems and business process management systems.

Intelligence capabilities are increasingly being integrated into or created in many of today’s software products and services. Process-aware information systems provide critical computing infrastructure to support the various processes involved in the creation and delivery of business products and services. Yet the integration of intelligence capabilities into process-aware information systems is a non-trivial yet necessary evolution of these complex systems.

The book’s individual chapters address adaptive process management, case management processes, autonomically-capable processes, process-oriented information logistics, process recommendations, reasoning over process models, process portability, and business process intelligence. The primary target groups are researchers and PhD/Master students in the field of information systems.

The 8 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 12 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on ontologies in health care; clinical quality, evaluation, and simulation; computer guidelines engineering and usage; and comorbidity and clinical process management.

In today’s dynamic business world, the success of a company increasingly depends on its ability to react to changes in its environment in a quick and flexible way. Companies have therefore identified process agility as a competitive advantage to address business trends like increasing product and service variability or faster time to market, and to ensure business IT alignment.  Along this trend, a new generation of information systems has emerged—so-called process-aware information systems (PAIS), like workflow management systems, case handling tools, and service orchestration engines.

With this book, Reichert and Weber address these flexibility needs and provide an overview of PAIS with a strong focus on methods and technologies fostering flexibility for all phases of the process lifecycle (i.e., modeling, configuration, execution and evolution). Their presentation is divided into six parts. Part I starts with an introduction of fundamental PAIS concepts and establishes the context of process flexibility in the light of practical scenarios. Part II focuses on flexibility support for pre-specified processes, the currently predominant paradigm in the field of business process management (BPM). Part III details flexibility support for loosely specified processes, which only partially specify the process model at build-time, while decisions regarding the exact specification of certain model parts are deferred to the run-time. Part IV deals with user- and data-driven processes, which aim at a tight integration of processes and data, and hence enable an increased flexibility compared to traditional PAIS. Part V introduces existing technologies and systems for the realization of a flexible PAIS. Finally, Part VI summarizes the main ideas of this book and gives an outlook on advanced flexibility issues.

Anhand einer verständlichen und ansprechenden Anwendung aus dem Bereich der Tinnitusforschung werden wiederkehrende Problemstellungen und Muster im Bereich mobiler App-Entwicklung analysiert und diskutiert. Dazu erläutern die Autoren die Programmierkonzepte, Techniken, Frameworks und Mechanismen, welche für die Umsetzung dieser Musteranwendung relevant sind. Der Leser soll weitreichende Einblicke und Analysemethoden an die Hand bekommen, um Projekte zur Entwicklung mobiler Apps besser und effektiver durchführen zu können. Das Buch dient somit als wichtige Entscheidungshilfe für die Realisierung mobiler Anwendungen, die entweder eigenständig oder in Verbindung mit Fremdsystemen entwickelt werden müssen und die zudem aktuelle Techniken verwenden sollen. Dazu wird die Anwendung beispielhaft mit einem mobilen Framework entwickelt. Weitere Frameworks werden mitdiskutiert. So entsteht Schritt für Schritt die Anwendung und die einzelnen architektonischen Bausteine werden eingeführt und didaktisch aufbereitet. Ergänzend wird auf spezielle Paradigmen eingegangen, die den Frameworks zugrunde liegen.
