This is the first book to present field studies on the application of subject-oriented business
process management (S-BPM). Each case presents a specific story and focuses on an essential
modeling or implementation issue and most end with implications or suggestions for further
studies. Significant variables and success factors are identified that were discovered during
the respective study and lead to suggesting S-BPM novelties. For each case the authors explain
step-by-step how the story develops and provide readers guidance by detailing the respective
rationale.The studies covered are clustered according to three main S-BPM themes: Part I
Business Operation Support documents approaches to the practical development of S-BPM solutions
in various application domains and organizational settings while Part II Consultancy and
Education Support highlights cases that can help to train readers in S-BPM modeling and
knowledge acquisition for S-BPM lifecycle iterations. It also refers to architecting S-BPM
solutions for application cases based on hands-on experience. Part III Technical Execution
Support focuses on concepts for utilizing specific theories and technologies to execute S-BPM
models. It also addresses how to create reference models for certain settings in the field.
Lastly the appendix covers all relevant aspects needed to grasp S-BPM modeling and apply it
based on fundamental examples. Its format reconciles semantic precision with syntactic
rigor.>Addressing the needs of developers educators and practitioners this book will help
companies to learn from the experiences of first-time users and to develop systems that fit
their business processes explaining the latest key methodological and technological S-BPM
developments in the fields of training research and application.
