5 Preface Today information is considered to be a valuable company resource that has to be planned, coordinated and documented. Business processes need to be treated in the same way. Moreover, significant potential for improvement may lie in optimizing these processes. As a consequence information should be collected and suitably modelled and business processes need to be analyzed and redesigned. Business modelling usually deals with different views of a company. The data view is concerned with information structures, the functional view analyzes tasks and procedures, the process view links different functions by analyzing workflows and events triggering them, while the organizational view is concerned with the structure of the company under investigation. These views should not however be treated in an isolated manner. The key to success is to deal with the interaction between them. Hence, business modelling should provide an integrated view of all relevant informational, functional, organizational and workflow issues. One of the most significant problems results from the complexity of the modelling task. Modelling tools are required and are to be used in combination with other close methodologies and applications. Suitable generalizations and/or new methodologies need to be developed.

6 VI Improvement and optimization of business processes calls for methodologies to value existing processes and restructure steps. Classical capital budgeting techniques are not directly applicable since returns and expenses are usually difficult to calculate in monetary terms. Existing applications need to be combined in order to generate support to the whole workflow that is initiated. The goal of this book is to provide a forum for the exchange of new ideas in the field of business process modelling. The state of the art in business process modelling is reviewed, unsolved problems are identified and possible solutions are given. This volume is divided into the following chapters: l. Interaction between Business Process Modelling and Workflow Management 2. Business Process Modelling for Engineering Processes 3. Strategic Business Planning 4. Business Process Modelling - Experiences 5. Methodological and Technical Aspects of Business Process Modelling. In the first chapter Zukunft and Rump show how business process modelling can be used to derive workflow management concepts. Krallmann and Derszteler present an integrated approach to modelling, executing and monitoring workflowbased processes. Wieczerzycki's paper is also concerned with process modelling and workflow execution. Schmidt analyzes scheduling problems occurring in workflow management. Business process management systems are introduced by Karagiannis. The support of engineering processes using the World Wide Web is analyzed by Grabowski et al. in the second chapter. The product development process is an example of so-called open processes. Modelling issues, as well as a suitable tool for modelling product development processes are discussed by Berndes and Stanke. Scholz-Reiter and Bastian examine groupware-based collaboration for distributed modelling of manufacturing systems. Kamel and Lesca discuss Strategic Probe: A support-structured scanning information. Dietz and Mulder present a tool-supported method to realize strategic reengineering objectives. The fourth chapter is devoted to practical experiences. Janson and Wrycza investigate the role of information technology during macroeconomic transformations in Poland. Chaffey discusses the application of business modelling techniques in an office automation-based process improvement programme. The fifth chapter discusses methodological and technical issues of business process modelling. Yu investigates coordination-based approaches for modelling workflows. Rohloff presents an object-oriented approach. The reuse of reference process building blocks in business process reengineering is examined by Lang, Taumann and Bodendorf. Mehler-Bicher presents an architecture for a management support system that draws on object-orientation and business process

7 VII modelling techniques. Finally Giaglis and Paul discuss the use of simulation techniques for business process redesign. The editors would like to thank the members of the editorial committee and the numerous reviewers for their help in evaluating the high number of submissions for this volume.
