Managing Business Processes in Distributed Systems: Requirements, Models, and Implementation

This paper describes a case study for teaching purposes which enables students of Business Informatics and Economics to jointly work on B2B processes from modeling to implementation and execution. The teaching materials are based on a practical example and show how B2B processes can be integrated using a business process management system. Special focus is given to the goal of making the business processes as realistic as possible. An introduction to the technologies used (Simulated SAP Environment, modeling software ARIS Design Platform, workflow management system SAP Business Workflow and the SAP Exchange Infrastructure) is part of the teaching material.
