• Abstract: Augmented Business Process Management Systems (ABPMSs) are an emerging class of process-aware information systems that draws upon trustworthy AI technology. An ABPMS enhances the execution of business processes with the aim of making these processes more adaptable, proactive, explainable, and context-sensitive. This manifesto presents a vision for ABPMSs and discusses research challenges that need to be surmounted to realize this vision. To this end, we define the concept of ABPMS, we outline the lifecycle of processes within an ABPMS, we discuss core characteristics of an ABPMS, and we derive a set of challenges to realize systems with these characteristics.

  Reasoning is a fundamental cognitive process that enables logical inference, problem-solving, and decision-making. With the rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs), reasoning has emerged as a key capability that distinguishes advanced AI systems. We categorize existing methods along two dimensions: (1) Regimes, which define the stage at which reasoning is achieved; and (2) Architectures, which determine the components involved in the reasoning process.

  We conduct a series of interviews with BPM practitioners to explore their understanding, expectations, and concerns related to agent autonomy, adaptability, human collaboration, and governance in processes. The findings reflect both challenges with respect to data inconsistencies, manual interventions, identification of process bottlenecks, actionability of process improvements, as well as the opportunities of enhanced efficiency, predictive process insights and proactive decision-making support. These concerns underscore the need for a robust methodological framework for managing agents in organizations.

  We introduce Marking Open-world Keypoint Affordances (MOKA) to solve robotic manipulation tasks specified by free-form language instructions. Central to our approach is a compact point-based representation of affordance, which bridges the VLM's predictions on observed images and the robot's actions in the physical world. We evaluate and analyze MOKA's performance on various table-top manipulation tasks including tool use, deformable body manipulation, and object rearrangement.
