Description

This seminar is joint work with our colleagues from Prof. Schaub's research group from the informatics institute. Therefore, the seminar deals with Knowledge-intensive business processes from two perspectives. On the one side (the HPI side), the student can work on technical topics with strong business process technologies (bpt) background and on the other side (the IFI side), the student can work on topics with knowledge reasoning, logic, and answer set programming background.

The bpt topics comprise the areas of process querying, business processes for public services, business processes in healthcare environments, event processing, service compositions, run-time optimization, process monitoring, and process model abstraction.

We will also provide lectures about presenting a scientific topic and writing a scientific paper.
