About

Mathias Weske is a distinguished researcher whose work sits at the intersection of Business Process Management (BPM) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA), two fields that are rapidly reshaping how organizations design and execute their workflows. As one of the founding figures of the BPM academic community, Weske played a pivotal role in organizing the second International Conference on Business Process Management in Potsdam in 2004, helping to establish a discipline that has since grown into a major area of computer science and information systems research. His foundational contributions to BPM theory and practice are reflected in his widely cited scholarship, including his 2024 work on the evolution of the field, which has already garnered 34 citations. In more recent years, Weske has turned his attention to the integration of RPA with BPM, exploring how software bots can be conceptualized, modeled, and governed within enterprise process frameworks. His papers on integrating RPA into BPM (33 citations), ontology-supported bot modeling, and decision management within RPA contexts demonstrate both theoretical depth and practical relevance, making his research essential reading for students and practitioners navigating the future of intelligent process automation.
