Foreword
Enterprises today act in an environment of continuously accelerating change. Since nearly all of an enterprise’s activities are supported through IT, the adaptation of IT applications is necessary in a similarly quick fashion. Hereby Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and business processes play an important role, which thus have to be either re-designed or adapted accordingly. This is where the work of Ingo Weber adds to the field, by creating new approaches for the development and adaptation of business processes, focused on an implementation-oriented point of view. Key questions are raised by the verification of specific properties of the processes as well as by the automatic composition of processes out of pre-defined components. The presented work hereby combines formal approaches with real evaluations in an impressive manner. The work is structured in seven chapters, as follows. The introductory chapter puts forward the motivation for the study, the research questions, and an overview of the work and its central contributions. Subsequently, chap. 2 is concerned with the foundations of the work, where three areas are discussed: business process management, service-oriented computing, and semantic technologies. Chapter 3 develops a detailed requirement analysis, presenting a total of 19 requirements. Since the breadth of the requirements is too large, the subsequently developed conceptual approach does not cover all o
