Title: Agile Systems with Reusable Patterns of Business Knowledge - a Component Based Approach
Coauthored by: Amit Mitra and Dr. Amar Gupta
Publisher: Artech House Press, Massachusetts

Book Description

Driven by the need for global excellence and customer value, agility and innovation have become imperative for business. However, the existing set of business process engineering and information system approaches address only aspects related to operational efficiency and economics. This book addresses many other aspects by emphasizing how innovation can be systematized through the use of normalized patterns of information. Industry practitioners can learn how business processes and information systems can be tightly aligned and how they can be designed to automatically adapt to change by re-configuring shared patterns of knowledge.

This is a practical resource that combines world class experience from industry with the best in academic experience and leading edge research. It will help you to design business processes and systems that are both agile and adaptable, that can coordinate integration of information across supply chains and extended enterprises, that can reduce time-to-market, and that can improve computer aided systems engineering and computer aided process engineering tools. This book offers expert guidance on facilitating standards, prototyping for continuous improvement, designing enterprise information systems software, and achieving process maturity to rapidly absorb and utilize innovative technology for competitive advantage. Utilizing he basic premise that meanings are patterns of information, this book attempts to lay the foundation of a new computing paradigm in which computers manipulate meaning, not blind symbols.

This book embodies the nexus between Service Oriented Architecture, Business Process Management, Knowledge Management and Business Process Automation.
