*Enhancing Business Processes Using Semantic Reasoning*
by Monica Martin (06)
*Abstract*: (07)
Business is looking for ways to squeeze dollars and increase operational
efficiency through business process automation and integration. Business
integration and business process management are gaining momentum, with
evolving standards in tow. Foundational and composed services are being
developed and advanced capabilities in the Business Process Management
(BPM) space are gaining momentum, following on the tails of large
corporate technology investment (and marketing dollars). (08)
Process automation and integration are being approached in many ways: (09)
* Through computable languages
* Through messaging
* Through logical entities and abstractions (010)
With new and advanced capabilities, abstractions and constraints
(context, policy, quality of service, etc), the complexity brings many
challenges. Emerging technologies are embracing mathematical and
semantic building blocks to enable future BPM solutions (such as
semantic variables, conformance typing systems, process matching, etc).
Taking a pragmatic iterative approach, new conceptual building blocks
are being developed to lay the groundwork for use of semantic reasoning
as part of the ongoing progress and success of BPM. This brief will
harvest a few examples evident in emerging technologies. (011)
