It is difficult to precisely define Information Systems Engineering. Roughly speaking, it is an interdisciplinary field focusing on designing, developing, implementing, and managing complex IT systems that meet specific organizational needs, bridging the gap between technology and business by applying engineering principles to create efficient, reliable solutions for data processing, decision-making, and operations, integrating software, hardware, data, processes and people. It emphasizes ...

This book questions the extent to which the Internet of Things (IoT) and business process management (BPM) paradigms can be combined. The authors discuss emerging challenges and intersections from a research and practitioner's perspective in terms of complex software systems development and process mining methods. The authors demonstrate that while the IoT and BPM have been regarded as separate topics in research and in practice, they strongly believe that, on the one hand, the management ...
