BPM to Go: Supporting Business Processes in a Mobile and Sensing World

The growing maturity of smart mobile devices has fostered their prevalence in a multitude of business areas. As a consequence, business process management (BPM) technologies need to be enhanced with sophisticated and configurable mobile task support. Along characteristic use cases from different application domains (e.g., healthcare and logistics), this chapter will give insights into the challenges, concepts and technologies relevant for integrating mobile task support with business processes. Amongst others, we will show how mobile task support can be enhanced with location-based data, sensor integration, and mobile task configuration support. The latter is based on a 3D model for configuring mobile tasks on smart mobile devices.
