In addition to the keynote paper and 12 presentations – including 3 case studies - that made up the BPM Congress, a special session with 6 presentations on the European project UEML (www.ueml.org) providing latest results on the Unified Enterprise Modelling Language development (see report above on UEML). The keynote paper presented by K-D Naujok, Global e-Business Advisory Council UN/CEFACT/TMG Chair, addressed business collaboration frameworks and technology in the context of BPM. The first part discussed an e-business collaboration modelling framework, identifying a UN/CEFACT Modelling Methodology (UMM) providing a business operational view with four individual, but related business views: domain, requirements, transaction and service view. The underlying principle being business requirements drive technology solutions. UMM is based on business entity flow graphs, which identify the business entities to be acted upon in the corresponding business activities and their states. Parts 2 and 3 presented the BPM related technology starting with identifying four critical success factors: familiar, trust, convenient and profitable and identifying relevant technologies applicable for the UMM described in Part 1. The three case studies presented results from BPM applications in e-government,
government related and industrial-organisations, whereas the remaining
papers addresses different aspects of BPM ranging from its strategic value
and contribution to organisation integration to measurements of business
performance.
