| Abstract |
|
Business Process Management (BPM) is the
approach to manage the execution of IT-supported
business operations from a business expert’s view
rather than from a technical perspective. However,
the degree of mechanization in BPM is still very
limited, creating inertia in the necessary evolution
and dynamics of business processes, and BPM does
not provide a truly unified view on the process space
of an organization.
We trace back the problem of mechanization of
BPM to an ontological one, i.e. the lack of machineaccessible
semantics, and argue that the modeling
constructs of Semantic Web services frameworks,
especially WSMO [13, 14], are a natural fit to
creating such a representation. As a consequence, we
propose to combine SWS and BPM and create one
consolidated technology, which we call Semantic
Business Process Management (SBPM).
