Enabling Flexibility in Process-Aware Information Systems

The book "Enabling Flexibility in Process-Aware Information Systems" by Manfred Reichert and Barbara Weber offers a comprehensive analysis of the flexibility requirements in process-oriented information systems (PAIS). In an era where companies must quickly respond to changes, process agility is recognized as a crucial competitive advantage. The work is divided into six parts and addresses both fundamental concepts and specific methods and technologies that support flexibility throughout all phases of the process lifecycle. The authors explore various approaches to supporting flexibility, ranging from predefined processes to loosely specified processes, and provide practical scenarios to illustrate the theoretical concepts. This specialized book is aimed at professionals and students who wish to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges and solutions in the field of process-oriented information systems.
