Why a new and special course of study ED-BPM

• The forecast of David Luckham
• we need skilled people at least up to 2050
• we are only at the end of the period of Simple
  CEP

Why a new and special course of study ED-BPM

• The warning of Roy Schulte/Gartner since
  2006
• we wont have enough skilled people who would be
  able to do all the jobs and projects

• The statement of Mani Chandy/CalTech at the
  Gartner Event Processing Summit 2007
• The work of IT during the next twenty years will
  be to complete the evolution of business
  processes from sequences of slow-moving,
  disjointed applications to more responsive
  end-to-end, event-based straight-through flows of
  action.
