Workflow Management

de Wil van der Aalst, Kees van Hee

"This book offers a comprehensive introduction to workflow management, the management of business processes with information technology. By defining, analyzing, and redesigning an organization's resources and operations, workflow management systems ensure that the right information reaches the right person or computer application at the right time. The book provides a basic overview of workflow terminology and organization, as well as detailed coverage of workflow modeling with Petri nets. Because Petri nets make definitions easier for nonexperts to understand, they facilitate communication between designers and users."--BOOK JACKET.
