Abstract
Blockchain technology has attracted a lot of attention as an innovative breakthrough that has the potential to revolutionize several industries, including finance, healthcare, logistics, and more. The usage of smart contracts, which are self-executing programs that automate transactions when a set of predetermined conditions are met, is one of the main characteristics of blockchain technology. Smart contracts have the potential to lower transaction costs, get rid of intermediaries, and improve accountability and transparency. Another crucial area of focus where smart contracts can bring benefits is business process management (BPM), specifically workflow automation. Workflow automation is a method of automating repetitive and manual tasks involved in business processes. By using smart contracts, it is possible to create a secure and transparent system that can streamline these processes and eliminate the need for a third-party entity. This can ensure traceability, correctness of process execution, and its immutability. Therefore, this thesis aims to explore the potential of blockchain-based workflow automation and its impact on business process management, by means of implementing and testing middleware with functionality to interact with smart contracts. The question that this research is aiming to answer is the following: “How flexible and scalable can the integration of middleware between blockchains’ smart contracts and business process management be?”
