Description

Companies interact with their partners and customers for delivering their value to the market. In Business Process Management (BPM) interactions between business partners and their customers are captured by business process collaboration models or by business process choreography models. The latter capture the interaction among participants from a global perspective while abstracting from their internal behavior. This lecture provides a comprehensive introduction to business process choreographies including: motivation via business models; modeling; formal properties; and, enactment on the web or, in case of trust-less settings, by employing blockchain technologies. The content of the lecture is like follows: 

1. Motivation and Introduction
   1. Business Model of Networked Enterprises
   2. Introduction to Choreographies
2. Choreographies Formal Properties and Modeling
   1. Compatibility
   2. Consistency
   3. BPMN Choreographies
3. Implementation of Choreographies
   1. Blockchain Technologies
   2. Blockchain-based Choreographies
   3. REST Architectural Style
   4. RESTful Choreographies

The lecture has no mandatory prerequisites but basic knowledge in BPM (e.g. business process modeling) is recommended.
