Abstract

This chapter is devoted to research on business process management engines, also known as business process management systems (BPMSs). We start the chapter with a short introduction to this topic. After this, we provide in-depth discussions of work on three specific engines from three distinct classes. First, we discuss how a well-known, open-source commercial engine (Camunda) has been extended for research purposes. Next, we discuss the YAWL platform as a full-blown BPM engine with research origins. Finally, we pay attention to the CPEE.org effort, which is aimed at developing a minimal-core, cloud-based BPM execution platform. From these discussions, the reader gets a broad overview of BPM engine development, as well as detailed knowledge about three rather diverse specific engines.
