Applications of Automated Planning for Business Process Management

Abstract

This is a brief summary of the applications of automated planning in the field of Business Process Management (BPM); and accompanies a tutorial with the same theme at the 19th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2021). We hope that this report is able to quickly onboard newcomers into this field with a broad overview of the associated challenges and opportunities, as well as provide established practitioners in the field some new food for thought in terms of the state-of-the-art and the evolving nature of these problems.
