Crossing the chasm between the real world and business process management

Abstract

While agility is a core challenge in todays competitive business, softwarebased business process modeling and execution approaches often refer to strict and inflexible formalization. Complementary, we propose an extension of the business process model by integrating information from the Internet of Things to increase flexibility. Along with orchestration tools and knowledge worker support, new dimensions within the data and the business process model are supposed to significantly improve business process management.
