Semantic Business Process Management serves three main goals: (1) providing an up-to-date, scientifically correct, concise and self-contained reference on SBPM, covering relevant tasks, practical and theoretical challenges and limitations, methodologies, and available tooling support; (2) integrating the conceptual and technical challenges of using ontologies for managing business process spaces, with a business view on using ontologies, by stressing the cost dimension of ontology engineering and by providing guidance on how to derive ontologies semi-automatically from existing standards and specifications; and (3) disseminating experiences, lessons learned, and best practices on SBPM from a number of application domains. An edited volume by distinguished leaders in the field, Semantic Business Process Management is designed as a reference for advanced-level students and researchers in computer science. Industry practitioners will also find this book useful.
