The book is structured in three parts. Part I starts with the motivation for the work and introduces the general structure of the book. Next, chapter 2 provides a brief introduction to main BPM concepts including the business process lifecycle, which describes the analysis of an organization by means of modeling and simulation, business process performance indicators, and the automatic extraction of information from event data. Chapter 3 then offers a summary of the concept of agent and the studies concerning agent-based approaches that involve business process analysis and management studies. Part II of the book introduces in chapter 4 the NetLogo tool adopted throughout the remaining book. After that, chapter 5 focuses on agent-oriented modeling as a problem domain analysis and design approach for creating decision-support systems based on agent-based simulations. Chapter 6 further describes the topic of agent-based modeling and simulation for business process analysis. The final part III starts with chapter 7 that reviews some BPM applications by introducing programs enabling to manage models represented in standard formats, such as BPMN, Petri nets, and the eXtensible Event Stream standard language. Subsequently, chapter 8 describes a number of case studies from different areas, and eventually, chapter 9 introduces some examples of advanced topics of process mining and agent-based simulation with process discovery, conformance checking, and agent-based applications utilizing Petri nets. The book is primarily written for researchers and advanced graduate and PhD students who look for an introduction to the fruitful exploitation of agent-based modeling to business process management. The book is also useful for industry practitioners who are interested in supporting their business decisions with computational simulations. The book is complemented by a dedicated web site with lots of additional details and models in NetLogo for further evaluation by the reader. 001447956 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 5, 2022). 001447956 650_0 $$aWorkflow$$xManagement. 001447956 650_0 $$aMultiagent systems. 001447956 650_0 $$aBusiness$$xData processing. 001447956 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001447956 7001_ $$aTaveter, Kuldar,$$eauthor. 001447956 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSulis, Emilio$$tAgent-Based Business Process Simulation$$dCham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022$$z9783030988159 001447956 852__ $$bebk 001447956 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-98816-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001447956 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1447956$$pGLOBAL_SET 001447956 980__ $$aBIB 001447956 980__ $$aEBOOK 001447956 982__ $$aEbook 001447956 983__ $$aOnline 001447956 994__ $$a92$$bISE
