  text: Driven by the need for a closer alignment of business and IT requirements,
    the role of business process models in the development of enterprise software
    systems has increased continuously. Similar to other software artifacts, process
    models are developed and refined in team environments by several stakeholders,
    resulting in different versions. These versions need to be merged in order to
    obtain an integrated process model. Existing solutions to this basic problem in
    the field of software configuration management are mainly limited to textual documents,
    e.g., source code. This monograph presents a generally applicable framework for
    process model change management, which provides easy-to-use comparison and merging
    capabilities for the integration of different process model versions. The framework
    supports popular modeling languages such as BPMN, BPEL, or UML Activity Diagrams.
    Differences between process models are represented in terms of intuitive, high-level
    change operations. Equipped with a sophisticated analysis of dependencies and
    a semantic-aware computation of conflicts between differences, the framework constitutes
    a comprehensive and practically usable solution for process model change management
    in the model-driven development of enterprise software systems.
