New Book INTELLIGENT ADAPTABILITY just published! It includes my article: "Smart Adaptive BPM Engine"

Just published! The new book Intelligent Adaptability in the prestigious annual Excellence in Practice Series (Edited by Layna Fischer) is ready. I have contributed in this book with my article “Smart Adaptive BPM Engine”.

Intelligent Adaptability describes how ACM is emerging in the era of machine intel- ligence and automation technologies, including Big Data, digitization, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent BPMS and BPM Everywhere. In this book, you can  explore how Intelligent Automation can be realized to deliver on the promise of Intelligent Adaptability, expanding the capabilities of ACM beyond what had previously been thought to be the limitations of automation.

In my article “Smart Adaptive BPM Engine”, you can explore about Adaptive Case Management envisions processes that are not designed in advance, but are rather processes that respond moment-by-moment. In an agile environment, where all structured processes have predesigned their business behaviors in ad- vance, they will need to be adapted depending on real-time circumstances. Disruption from Artificial Intelligence applied to BPM will provide a smart adaptive BPM engine that will cause fundamental changes for the structured processes because these could change their predesigned behavior as the BPM engine starts learning, so this new capability of BPM will provide the right tasks at the right moment for a customer. The fundamental idea is the automatic adaptation of the process models are defined by the automatic learning of the Workflow Engine that orchestrates the processes.
