Abstract

The Business Process Management (BPM) as an advanced paradigm in workflow management has been very a very active research topic in the field software engineering and process management. The goal of this contribution is to take BPM advantages into the image processing -in particular medical image analysis- to provide a consistent and comprehensive software framework. A case study is also presented in this paper and the possibility for applying BPM on image analysis is specified separately. Furthermore, several quality attributes are addressed to create modifiable, reusable, and flexible framework for the medical imaging community. The present research is expected to draw attentions from medical image analysis to BPM, and make possible future enhancements in BPM’s application.
