Business processes have played an important role in enabling business
application integration and collaboration across multiple organisations.
The integration can be categorised into two types: internal integration
and external integration. Internal integration includes all the
integration aspects within one enterprise. Enterprise application
integration (EAI) is a typical example of internal integration. External
integration covers all the possible integration patterns across multiple
enterprises. The typical business process based external application
integration includes business process to application integration (BP2Ai)
and business process to business process integration (BP2BPi). 

To stay competitive, companies must be agile in adapting their business
processes to the ever-changing market dynamics. The adaptive business
process based enterprises should look beyond the traditional enterprises
and marketplaces through collaborative interactions and dynamic
e-business solution bindings. The enterprise infrastructure has to
provide the capability for dynamic discovery of trading partners and
service providers as well as enabling federated security mechanisms,
solution monitoring and management. 

The International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management
will focus on the emerging business process modelling, simulation,
integration and management using emerging technologies. IJBPIM is the
first academic journal that concentrates on the information technology
(IT) level as well as the relationship between the business level and IT
implementation level.
