For the industry it is necessary to collect, process, and transmit a large quantity of conventional data and multimedia data for various reasons. Therefore there is an urgent need for systematic methods of information processing, and the sensible use of the data for business purposes. And furthermore the procedures in a company have to be designed in the form of business processes in order to be carried out efficiently with the help of information technology.
