Course Objective

!

The course focuses on enterprise information systemsthat are driven by models, i.e., instead of constructing code

these systems are assembled, configuredor generated

using a model-driven approach

! We will focus on the so-called"process-aware"

information systems to better understand the impact of themodellingof business processes both in static and

dynamic environment

! The course introduces all relevant state-of-the-art concepts,

methods and technologies enabling process flexibility, e.g.,

process configuration, exception handling, ad-hocprocess changes, process schema evolution
