Preface
“Enabling Transition” was the theme of the 2012 S-BPM ONE conference. In
the tradition of previous S-BPM ONE events, starting in 2009, it provided a
lively interaction platform for (S-)BPM researchers, developers, educators, and
practitioners. S-BPM as a discipline is characterized by a seamless approach
toward the analysis, modeling, implementation, execution, and management of
businessprocesseswithanexplicitstakeholderfocus(seealsotheS-BPMprimer
we have provided at the end of these proceedings). This year’s event not only
intensifiedthediscourseofS-BPMprotagonistsonotherBPMparadigms,italso
markedthe starting point towardscientifically grounded BPM transformations.
According to the results of the rigorous peer-review process, 12 contributions
were selected out of 36 submissions, and included in these proceedings.
EgonB¨orger’skeynotedemonstrates the benefits of atheoretically grounded
approach to BPM, in particular when linking the concept of S-BPM to the
abstract state machines (ASM) method. The contribution reveals the influence
of high-level interpreting S-BPM-defined business processes on representation
andmodelexecution.Besidessuchgrounding,researchersanddeveloperstarget
a variety of topics:
(cid:129) Stakeholder-orientedbusiness process management
(cid:129) Enterprise modeling and cross-organizationalengineering
(cid:129) Role and communication management
(cid:129) Information structure architecting
(cid:129) Activity and agency
(cid:129) Active knowledge modeling
(cid:129) Formal BP semantics for modeling and processing
(cid:129) Work flow design and management
(cid:129) Control-drivenBPM suite development and tool applications
The contributions address most of the life-cycle activities, in particular an-
alyzing business objectives, subject behavior design and integration, and au-
tomating complex work procedures. Some tendencies enabling transitions seem
to be significant for further researchand development:
1. S-BPM triggers contextual design of processes and corresponding semantic
processing.As such, the more generalconcept of System Thinking, as origi-
nallyproposedbyPeterSenge,influencesallBPMlife-cycleactivities.Italso
allowsBPMparadigmstointerfacealternativeapproachesbeyondBPEL—
a worthwhile transition in planning, designing, and operating business pro-
cesses.
2. ThedevelopmentoftheS-BPMmodelinglanguagereflectsthetrendtoward
contextual specification and semantic processing, as the approaches captur-
ing BPM objectives and access issues demonstrate. Hence, related areas,

suchaschangemanagement,canbe addressedvia S-BPMin aseamlessbut
still structured way.
3. S-BPM can be understood as scalable and domain-independent approach
when applied in practice. The scope of S-BPM applications and application
domains can be widened in a seamless way, as demonstrated for complex
service industries, such as hospital management (while capturing inherent
peculiarities) and for industrial process controlsystems (when coupled with
high-level business processes).
4. Economically plausible, but sophisticated architectures and infrastructures
becoming common use, such as Web services and cloud computing, increas-
ingly follow a choreographic approach. By utilizing S-BPM, not only can

but also adapting business processes to novel settings and access facilities
on-the-fly can be resolved effectively.
Experiencing the active engagementof BPM activists facilitates hosting this
conference. However, the success of such an event relies on creative and con-
structive hands, most notably:
(cid:129) The authors of the various contributions sharing their expertise
(cid:129) ThemembersoftheinternationalProgramCommitteereviewingeachofthe
