Abstract. Collaboration in business environments is an ongoing trend that is enabled by and based on cloud computing. It supports flexible and ad-hoc reconfiguration and integration of different services, which are provided and used via the internet, and implemented within business processes. This is an important competitive advantage for the participating stakeholders. However, trust, policy compliance, and data privacy are emerging issues that result from the distributed data handling in cloud-based business processes. Up to now, several architectures and technical systems that enable the cloud-based collaboration within business processes have been developed, but the selection of an appropriate business process management system (BPMS) is missing. An implemented BPMS has to meet certain requirements that result from the cloud-based characteristics and from the other implemented systems. This paper derives requirements for BPMSs in cloud-based environments, currently available BPMSs are evaluated against the derived requirements and the selected one is implemented subsequently.
