Process Management

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of eight international workshops held in Ulm, Germany, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2009, in September 2009. The eight workshops were on Empirical Research in Business Process Management (ER-BPM 2009), Reference Modeling (RefMod 2009), Business Process Design (BPD 2009), Business Process Intelligence (BPI 2009), Collaborative Business Processes (CBP 2009), Process-Oriented Information Systems in Healthcare (ProHealth 2009), Business Process Management and Social Software (BPMS2 2009), Event-Driven Business Process Management (edBPM 2009). The 67 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions.

There has never been a Business Process Management manual like this. 100 Success Secrets is not about the ins and outs of Business Process Management. Instead, it answers the top 100 questions that we are asked and those we come across in forums, our consultancy and education programs.

This course provides an introduction to the study of software engineering by closely examining the software development process. Several popular software development process models are examined, along with topics on the software lifecycle, quality management, and software configuration management. One of the most basic aspects of software engineering is an understanding of the software development process. This course on Software Process Management lays the foundation for a study in software engineering by examining several popular models for software development. The course begins with a study of the software lifecycle, and then introduces several of the most popular and widely-used models for software development, beginning with the most fundamental and working through to the more advanced. After covering these models, the course examines quality as it relates to the overall process of software development, and discusses the ways software configuration management can be used to improve quality.
