Abstract

Fast changing requirements, regarding different types of resources such as personnel or IT-systems, require companies to adapt their business processes in a very agile but yet sophisticated way. Most of today’s companies fail in accomplishing this goal because of too static business process analysis and management approaches. The Autonomous Business Process Management methodology presented in this paper enables companies to self-adapt to changing requirements as they happen using emerging technologies and concepts, such as RFID, nanotechnology or Autonomous Computing.
