Modeling Dynamics of Business Processes: Key for Building Next Generation of Business Information Systems. Ilia Bider and Paul Johannesson   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Pre-Conference Tutorials Abstract During the past ten years, requirements on functionality of business information systems have been slowly changing. This shift consists of moving from traditional command based applications to the applications of workflow and groupware type. Such applications are aimed at "controlling" business processes. Designing an appropriate "control" system presumes that the nature of the process that we want to control is fully understood and modeled. The objective of the tutorial is "to understand the problems and solutions of designing a new generation of business information systems". It is intended for Software Engineers involved in business applications development, Business Analysts, and Researchers interested in business process modeling.
