Systems Engineering for Business Process Change : Collected Papers from the EPSRC Research Programme

This work brings together in one volume the two areas of legacy systems and business processes. The research discussed has arisen from the EPSRC research programme on Systems Engineering for Business Process Change, and the book contains contributions from experts in the field.
