 Abstract. In-depth business process management is crucial for any institution
 and enterprise in a competitive world. Although this insight is by no means
 new, the daily practice draws another picture: Certainly, many enterprises have
 defined their overall strategy including IT issues at least roughly, and, based
 here on, have documented their business processes somehow. Rarely however,
 do they manage their business processes comprehensively in the sense of cover-
 ing analysis, design, measurement, continuous optimization, and IT support.
 The key prerequisite for allowing such comprehensive handling of business
 processes is to describe these processes transparently and completely, using a
 modeling language that is appropriate for the particular context including all
 stakeholders concerned.
 The aims of this tutorial, therefore, are threefold: (1) the participants will learn
 about the fundamentals of business processes and their contexts; (2) the key
 features of popular business process modeling languages like Adonis and
 BPMN; and (3) guidelines for selecting an appropriate modeling approach in-
 cluding the customization to the given environment.
 Intended audience: Practitioners and researchers who are interested in a sys-
 tematic approach to business process management, and have basic knowledge
 in modeling and information systems engineering.
