Preface
Twenty-First century enterprises are crucial components in delivering service to society and contributing to economic prosperity. Service is delivered when an enterprise conducts its business within its business environment. With the growing complexity of modern business processes and continuously changing business environment, enterprise study requires profound engineering approaches with properties such as ability for reengineering, scalability, adaptability, and reimplementation. Enterprises are purposefully designed and implemented systems to fulfill certain functions. As any system, enterprises are objects of continuous improvements, redesign, and reimplementation. Usually, a redesigning activity is triggered by changes in the business environment, where the enterprise is functioning (delivering its service), or by an internal need for efficiency. The departure point for any design or redesign activity pertinent to an enterprise is first to understand the enterprise business processes. Therefore, in the overall enterprise engineering activities, business process modeling plays a central role.
