Zusammenfassung
This paper discusses the applicability of a process algebra, the π-calculus, as a formal foundation for Business Process Management (BPM). We therefore investigate the π-calculus from a technical viewpoint based on current work in this area. The paper summarizes shifting requirements and discusses evolving theories behind BPM from the past over state-of-the-art to the future. The concepts and theories are concluded by an illustrating example highlighting why the π-calculus is a promising foundation for future BPM.
