Abstract
Perhaps one of the reasons BPM research concentrates on analytical modeling of business processes is that BPMN is standardized fully in this regard and modeling tools support the notation very well. In this book, we focus instead on empirical research in executable process models. This requires a complete and precise specification of process models, which graduate from “PowerPoint slide” into an executable artifact running inside a workflow engine in the Cloud. In this chapter, we introduce fundamental background concepts defining executable business processes, discussing empirical research methods suitable for business process management, and presenting different architectural options for process execution and close with a brief history leading toward executable BPMN.
