From the reviews:

"Definitely geared toward the academic researcher, this collection of 23 research papers and six prototype demonstrations--all presented at the 2008 6th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM) … . papers are long enough (usually 16 pages), well written, and structured to also be accessible to the reader with a general interest, as long as he or she has a college-level algebra and graph theory background. … I am convinced, will remain a human task for a considerable period of time into the future."
