Abstract (De)
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of connected devices collecting and exchanging data over the Internet. These things
can be artificial or natural and interact as autonomous agents forming a complex system. In turn, Business Process Management
(BPM) was established to analyze, discover, design, implement, execute, monitor and evolve collaborative business processes within
and across organizations. While the IoT and BPM have been regarded as separate topics in research and practice, we strongly believe that the management of IoT applications will strongly benefit from BPM concepts, methods and technologies on the one hand; on the other one, the IoT poses challenges that will require enhancements and extensions of the current state-of-the-art in the BPM field. In this paper, we question to what extent these two paradigms can be combined and we discuss the emerging challenges and intersections from a research and practitioner’s point of view in terms of complex software systems development.
