An improved alignment of the IT infrastructure of an enterprise with its
business needs and requirements is a trend that has dominated and driven
innovations in information technology over the past couple of years.
Model-driven development techniques are used to translate business needs
directly into IT solutions. A special area of model-driven engineering, often
denoted as business-driven development, focuses on generating SOA-based IT
solutions from business process models.
The MDE4BPM workshop is about the application of Model-Driven Engineering to
Business Process Management. It focuses on research problems that arise when the
model-driven engineering and development methodology is applied to automate the
whole lifecycle of business process modeling artifacts. As an example, we are
interested in research contributions attacking the problems of automatically
mapping high level business process models to executable IT-level workflows.
Also, the opposite problem is relevant: so that the impact of changes of
IT-level workflows can be analyzed back in the context of the original
business-level models.
