For the review aspect in this case the selected article is the “Rethinking BPM in a

advancement in the NLP or the natural language processing, artificial intelligence and due to the
advancement in the machine learning factor. Depending on the above statement of the author it
can be stated that the author has provided quite appropriate justification in this case. As per the
author the above identified advancements can be combined with some evolutionary progress in
the areas which includes knowledge representation, experience of users, crowdsourcing,
automated planning and software as a service. These all are having the potentiality of
transforming many of the industries. In many of the real life situation it has been assessed that

about the transformation of the business process management which can have many of the
advancement within it by the introduction of the Cognitive Computing. In this aspects the
authors have mainly focused on the three most important of the transformation. Firstly,
knowledge acquisition at scale by the Cognitive Computing. This will lead to transformation
within the knowledge intensive processes. Secondly, the authors has envision a new meta model
of processes and this is centered around the cycle of “Plan Act Learn”. Thirdly, the author has
assessed that the Cognitive Computing will be able to enabling process learning from implicit
type of description. This is actually creating chances for the new stages of business process and
automation provision for the customary type of business processes and the KiPs. It has been
assessed that these aspects of the transformation is capable of improving the organizational
performance. The authors has presented a newly BPM paradigm which is capable of

cognitive business process management it is very much significant research regarding the
framing of the ecosystem of business processes. The authors has also presented conceptual

authors has pointed out important aspects if the business project management which has made
this article rich in nature.
In this article first the authors has provided brief information about the business process
management so that the readers will be able to understand the context of the article. In this
context as per the authors in some few decades the researches regarding the BPM has been
grown in many directions so that it becomes capable of supporting flexible type of business
processes, case management and process mining. In this context the authors has identified that
this type of research has remained closed to the traditional type of business process management
framework and there is proper separation among the models of the processes and instances of the
processes. The author has also identified that fewer consideration has been provided to the laying
a business process management foundation so that all the benefits of automotive type of
processes can be gained over the semi structure and semi structured information. As per the
author another important aspect of the BPM is learning the business processes that is unexplored
largely and described implicitly in the forms of texts or in some other forms rather than explicit
type of models. In this aspect the authors has also shown some unexplored area of business
