Goal-oriented autonomic business process modeling and execution: Engineering change management demonstration

Abstract

This demonstration paper describes the Living Systems Autonomic BPM (LS/ABPM) suite from Whitestein Technologies AG. This unique product consists of several integrated components for modelling, executing and administering business processes using a ground-breaking goal∈-∈oriented approach to BPM. A real and current customer case in the domain of Engineering Change Management (ECM), from Daimler AG, is used to explore the approach and features of the suite in the demonstration. Key improvements over conventional BPM techniques and technologies include business-goal oriented process modeling and extending process agility beyond the design stage by offering autonomic, selfoptimizing process orchestration and execution. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
