Abstract

The foundation of the Internet of Things (IoT) consists of ubiquitous smart devices, equipped with sensors, actuators and tags, that are connected to the Internet and able to communicate with one another. It is seen as a great opportunity for organizations to improve, innovate, and reinvent their business processes. However, existing Business Process Management (BPM) tools and systems are not fully capable of integrating and utilizing smart devices as business process resources and, thus, are unable to unlock the high joint potential of BPM and the IoT. In this paper, we propose a concept for a service-oriented BPM system architecture which aims at the modeling, implementation, and execution of IoT-aware business processes. Furthermore, we introduce a first software prototype of the architecture as a proof of concept.
