Betreff: [WI] 2nd Call for Papers: BPM 2014 Workshop on Business
Process Management in the Cloud (BPMC)

CALL FOR PAPERS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd International Workshop on Business Process Management in the Cloud (BPMC)
Haifa, Israel, September 08, 2014
http://projects.aifb.kit.edu/bpmc2014/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud computing is a paradigm for the on-demand delivery of infrastructure, platform, or software as a service. Cloud computing enables network access to a shared pool of configurable computing and storage resources as well as applications which can be tailored to the consumer's needs. Cloud resources can be rapidly provisioned and released, and are billed based on actual use, thus reducing up-front investment costs. Not only can individual services be hosted on virtual infrastructures but also complete process platforms. Further, besides benefits to run-time Business Process Management (BPM), during design-time cloud-based services can enable collaboration between geographically dispersed teams and assist the design process in general - amongst others, Process Modelling as a Service removes the need for installation of software, and is thus more attractive for the occasional user.
A cloud-based architecture for BPM may provide important benefits:
* Elasticity: process engines or process tasks can scale up/out or down/in depending on the actual load to reduce investment cost and manage load peaks.
* Flexibility: processes can be assembled with more flexibility as service selection can not only include the software but also the platform or infrastructure for it to run on.
* Measurement: as service applications in the cloud are individually metered, detailed measurement data is available and can be used to provide additional services such as process monitoring.
The research directions of core interest to this workshop are summarized by three questions:
1) How can BPM benefit from the cloud?
2) What should BPM in the cloud look like?
3) What can BPM bring to cloud computing practices?
Among a number of challenges, there is a lack of conceptualization and theory on BPM with respect to cloud computing. For the most part, the topic of cloud computing has only been implicitly regarded in BPM research when discussing design-time tools. Few works have addressed workflow enactment in the cloud to date. However, a detailed research agenda which covers theory, design-time, run-time, and use cases is missing. The goal of the 2nd International Workshop on Business Process Management in the Cloud is to lay the foundation for such a research agenda.
Topics
------------
Authors are invited to submit novel contributions in the above mentioned problem domain. We also invite people from the scientific workflow community to submit papers, so that the different communities can share insights and ideas. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
* Cloud and BPM: concepts and theory, e.g.
Cloud-centric flexibility, adaptability and evolution in BPM
Business Process or BPM as a Service (BPaaS/ BPMaaS)
BPM as a platform or software service
Business process analytics as a service
Compliance in cloud-based BPM
Security, privacy, and trust in cloud-based BPM
Socio-technical aspects of cloud computing for BPM
* Design-time BPM in the cloud, e.g.
Methods, tools, techniques to design cloud aspects of BPM systems
Cloud support for BPM design
Design-time optimization of process models and systems
Description languages for cloud-based processes
* Run-time BPM in the cloud, e.g.
Automated service and virtual resource selection and allocation
Load balancing of BPM engines/ processes/ process instances/ process tasks
Scaling of BPM engines/ processes/ process instances/ process tasks
Monitoring of processes and process steps running in the cloud
Security enforcement in cloud-based BPM
* Use cases for BPM in the cloud, e.g.
Best practices, success factors and empirical studies on cloud-based BPM
New delivery models for BPM, application scenarios
Reports on use cases within companies and government
Requirements definition issues for use cases
Application of cloud computing concepts from scientific workflows to BPM
Submission
------------------
The following types of submission are solicited:
* Full paper submissions, describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing work. Full papers should be at most 12 pages long.
* Short paper submissions, describing work in progress. These papers should be at most 6 pages long.

Introduction
Big data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose size is beyond
the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process
the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Such datasets are often from
various sources (Variety) yet unstructured such as social media, sensors,
scientific applications, surveillance, video and image archives, Internet
texts and documents, Internet search indexing, medical records, business
transactions and web logs; and are of large size (Volume) with fast data
in/out (Velocity). More importantly, big data has to be of high value
(Value) and establish trust in it for business decision making (Veracity).
Cloud computing is positioning itself as an emerging platform for
delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services.
Customers (enterprises or individuals) can provision and deploy Cloud
services via pay-as-you-go pricing models saving huge capital investments
in their own IT infrastructures.
As estimated by IDC, by 2020, about 40% data globally would be touched with
Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing provides strong storage, computation and
distributed capability in support of Big Data processing.

CFP: Techniques and Applications for Sustainable Ultrascale Computing
Systems (TASUS 2014) + IS (SIMPAT)
*TASUS 2014: TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE ULTRASCALE
COMPUTING SYSTEMS*
*To be held at EUROPAR 2014
<http://xc0.r.mailjet.com/redirect/ys9phyz5pmb1cvt4mf0wv5/europar2014.dcc.fc…>,*
*Porto, Portugal , August 25-26, 2014*
Background
The ever-increasing data and processing requirements of applications
from various domains are constantly pushing for dramatic increases in
computational and storage capabilities. Today, we have reached a point
where computer systems’ growth cannot be addressed anymore in an
incremental way, due to the huge challenges lying ahead, in particular
scalability, energy barrier, data management, programmability, and
reliability.
Ultrascale computing systems (UCS) are envisioned as a large-scale
complex system joining parallel and distributed computing systems, maybe
located at multiple sites, that cooperate to provide solutions to the
users. As a growth of two or three orders of magnitude of today’s
computing systems is expected, including systems with unprecedented
amounts of heterogeneous hardware, lines of source code, numbers of
users, and volumes of data, sustainability is critical to ensure the
feasibility of those systems. Due to those needs, currently there is an
emerging cross-domain interaction between high-performance in clouds or
the adoption of distributed programming paradigms, such as Map-Reduce,
in scientific applications, the cooperation between HPC and distributed
system communities still poses many challenges towards building the
ultrascale systems of the future. Especially in unifying the services to
deploy sustainable applications portable to HPC systems, multi-clouds,
data centers, and big data.
TASUS workshop focuses on the software side, aiming at bringing together
researchers from academia and industry interested in the design,
implementation, and evaluation of services and system software
mechanisms to improve sustainability in ultrascale computing systems
with a holistic approach.
Topics
We are looking for original high quality research and position papers on
applications, services, and system software for sustainable ultrascale
systems. Topics of interest include:
* Existing and emerging designs to achieve sustainable ultrascale systems.
* High-level parallel programming tools and programmability techniques
to improve applications sustainability on ultrascale platforms.
(model driven, refactoring, dynamic code generation, unified
services, middlewares, …).
* Synergies among emerging programming models and run-times from HPC,
distributed systems, and big data communities to provide sustainable
execution models (increased productivity, transparency, elasticity, …).
* New energy efficiency techniques for monitoring, analyzing, and
modeling ultrascale systems, including energy efficiency metrics for
multiple resources (computing, storage, networking) and sites.
* Eco-design of ultrascale components and applications, with special
emphasis on energy-aware software components that help users to
shape energy issues for their applications.
* Sustainable resilience and fault-tolerant mechanisms that can
cooperate throughout the whole software stack to handle errors.
* Fault tolerance techniques in partitioned global address space (e.g.
PGAS, MPI, hybrid) and federated cooperative environments.
* Data management optimization techniques through cross layer
adaptation of the I/O stack to provide global system information to
improve data locality.
* Enhanced data management lifecycle on scalable architectures
combining HPC and distributed computing (clouds and data centers).
* Experiences with applications, high-level algorithms, and services
amenable to ultrascale systems.

CALL FOR PAPERS
7th International Workshop on Business Process Management and Social
Software (BPMS2)
in conjunction with BPM 2014
September 8th, 2014, Haifa, Israel

------
SCOPE
------
Social software is a new paradigm that is spreading quickly in society,
organizations and economics. More and more enterprises use social
software to improve their business processes and create new business
models. Social software provides new interaction patterns that allow to
integrate more stakeholders in a broader way and to design business
processes in a completely new way. These four patterns are:
• Weak ties
Weak-ties are spontaneously established contacts between individuals
that create new views and allow combining competencies. Social software
supports the creation of weak ties by supporting to create contacts in
impulse between non-predetermined individuals.
• Social Production
Social Production is the creation of artefacts, by combining the input
from independent contributors without predetermining the way to do this.
By this means it is possible to integrate new and innovative
contributions not identified or planned in advance.
• Egalitarianism
Egalitarianism is the equal handling of all contributors of a business
process. This is done with the intention to encourage a maximum of
contributors and to get the best solution fusioning a high number of
contributions, thus enabling the wisdom of the crowds.
• Value co-creation
Social software is based on the idea, that value-creation is a mutual
process. Thus both service producer and consumer (or better prosumer)
cooperate in order co-create value.
Applying these four patterns to business processes creates huge chances
for the design, implementation and operation of business processes.
Social software is used to communicate with the customer increasingly in
a bi-directional manner. Companies integrate customers into product
development using social software to capture ideas for new products and
features. Mass production is more and more replaced by the
individualized provisioning of services and products. Thus social
software establishes learning relationships with customers and
stakeholders. Inside companies, hierarchical structures are more and
more dissolved and replaced by a culture of trust. The exchange of
knowledge and information is improved. Innovations and decisions are
created socially and not by single experts and managers.
Combining social software and business process management benefits a lot
from the recent advances of data processing, subsumed as Big Data. Today
large amounts of semi-structured and unstructured data as created by
social software can be processed. Based on the analysis of this data,
social software is able to influence business process (management)
significantly.
-----------------
WORKSHOP GOALS
-----------------
The workshop has the goal to investigate the relationship of social
software and business process management in three areas.
1. Interaction of social software with business process management
2. Use of social software in business processes.
3. Leverage social software in business process management and business
processes using Big Data.
-------------------
WORKSHOP THEMES
-------------------
The workshop are organized according to the three areas.
1. Interaction of social software with business process management
- How interact weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and value
co-creation with business process management?
- Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Operation, and
Evaluation) can profit the most from social software?
- Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software?
- How are trust and reputation established in business processes using
social software?
- How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process
support systems?
2. Use of social software in business processes
- Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when
they are not predictable (as production workflows) but collaborative or
ad hoc?
- How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes?
- Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM
lifecycle?
- What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by
social production?
3. Leverage social software in business process management using Big Data.
- Which data created with social software can be used to support
business processes?
- Which categories of business processes can profit from big data ?
- Are there any similarities or relationships with process mining
techniques and also with workflow control and role patterns?
-----------

Theme of the Workshop
---------------------
Web Information Systems (WIS) use the Web paradigm (and technologies) to retrieve information from data sources and deliver it to the users. Due to their complex requirements the design of WIS is not a trivial task. Design methodologies provide guidelines for the creation of WIS so that the complexity of this process becomes manageable. Based on the separation-of-concerns principle some of these methodologies propose models to specify different aspects of WIS design like data integration, navigation structure, user interface, user interaction, presentation personalization, etc.
Recent advances in networking technologies enabled WIS access via different devices (e.g., PDA, Smart phone, PC, BlackBerry, etc.). In addition to this device heterogeneity there is also a heterogeneous audience (e.g., different backgrounds, different goals, etc.) that wants to access the same system. In order to improve the user experience, these systems often need to personalize the content and its presentation based on the current user needs (e.g., user’s browsing platform or user preferences).
Another aspect that can influence the behaviour of a WIS is the context of use (e.g., the geographical position, the temporal information, the weather conditions, etc.). Systems that are able to exploit this kind of information will further improve the application usefulness for their users. Integrating such information is possibly made available by specialized services and the need to seamlessly integrate these services into a WIS is therefore an important part of WIS development research.
As the Web data is very diverse, WIS are seeking efficient and flexible approaches to provide integrated views over heterogeneous data sources. These data sources are usually autonomous (maintained by different organizations), overlapping, frequently changing, and distributed. All these characteristics make the data integration on the Web a very challenging research topic.
The increased use of rich-clients applications (e.g., AJAX, OpenLaszlo, etc.) poses new demands to WIS design. The design of these applications needs to go beyond the server roundtrip paradigm by considering the new functionality added to clients, an intelligent data-push communication with the server, interactive-rich graphical interfaces, etc. Also, with the current emergence of social Web applications (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc.) there is a need to properly model the highly dynamic aspects of these systems. In addition, WIS can tap into the data made available by these systems to provide for previously unforeseen functionalities. Making use of rich clients and allowing users to establish social networks are some of the features that need to be considered when developing Web 2.0 applications.
Semantic Web (also known as Web 3.0) technologies (e.g., RDF(S), OWL, etc.) can help in the representation and processing of the different WIS design models aiming for an improved interoperability. One example of such a model is the user profile which is often described using a CC/PP vocabulary. Due to their focus on distribution over the Web, Semantic Web representation languages prove to be useful also for specifying the semantics of data and the semantics of interfaces in order to facilitate the integration of heterogeneous databases and Web services, respectively. The best practice recommendation of Linked Data allows Web applications to seamlessly publish, interconnect, and access information on the Semantic Web. The inference mechanisms of the Semantic Web (captured in the semantics of the representation language or in rule-based languages like RuleML and SWRL) can be used for deriving new information or building intelligent services on the Web.
Over the last few years, Web services have offered new opportunities to deploy WIS. Web services are independent from specific platforms and computing paradigms, and have the capacity to form composed processes, referred to as composite Web services. Web services composition fulfils user requests that require the participation of several component Web services. Several composition languages are now available (e.g., BPEL, WSFL, etc.). Semantic descriptions of Web services are also proposed for automating composition (e.g., OWL-S, WSMO, WSDL-S, etc.). A research topic that is worth pursuing is the modeling of these composite Web services.
Goal of the Workshop
--------------------
The aim of the workshop is to provide a platform for bringing together researchers, practitioners, designers, and users of WIS and discuss how specific issues of Web Information Systems (WIS) design can be addressed by means of modeling. Specifically, we will discuss how the influence of Semantic Web technology can help in a model-driven WIS development. Thus, the workshop should enable a fruitful exchange of ideas in the state-of-the-art of WIS modeling.

With the increasing automation of business processes, growing amounts of
process data become available. This opens new research opportunities for
business process data analysis, mining and modeling. The aim of the IFIP
2.6 - 2.12 International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and
Analysis is to offer a forum where researchers from different
communities and the industry can share their insight in this hot new field.
The Symposium will feature a number of keynotes illustrating advanced
approaches, shorter presentations on recent research, a competitive PhD
seminar and selected research and industrial demonstrations. This year
the symposium will be held in Milan, the city of Expo 2015.
# Call for Papers #
The IFIP International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and
Analysis (SIMPDA 2013) offers a unique opportunity to present new
approaches and research results to researchers and practitioners working
in business process data modeling, representation and privacy-aware
analysis.
The symposium will bring together leading researchers, engineers and
scientists from around the world. Full papers must not exceed 15 pages.

-- Workshop Format --
In accordance to our historical tradition of proposing SIMPDA as a
symposium, we propose an innovative format for this workshop:
The number of sessions depend on the number of submissions but,
considering the previous editions, we envisage to have four sessions,
with 4-5 related papers assigned to each session. A special session
(with a specific review process) will be dedicated to discuss research
plan from PhD students.
Papers are pre-circulated to the authors that will be expected to read
all papers in advance but to avoid exceptional overhead, two are
assigned to be prepared with particular care, making ready comments and
suggestions.
The bulk of the time during each session will be dedicated to open
conversations about all of the papers in a given session, along with any
linkages to the papers and discussions within an earlier session.
The closing session (30 minutes), will include a panel about open
challenges during which every participant will be asked to assemble
their thoughts/project ideas/goals/etc... that they got out of the workshop.
# Call for PhD Research Plans #
The SIMPDA PhD Seminar is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over
the world. The goal of the Seminar is to help students with their thesis
and research plans by providing feedback and general advice on how to
use their research results.
Students interested in participating in the Seminar should submit an
extended abstract describing their research. Submissions can relate to
any aspect of Process Data: technical advances, usage and impact
studies, policy analyses, social and institutional implications,
theoretical contributions, interaction and design advances, innovative
applications, and social implications.
Research plans should be at most of 4 page long and should be organized
following the following structure:
Abstract: summarizes, in 5 line, the research aims and significance.
Research Question: defines what will be accomplished by eliciting the
relevant the research questions.
Background: defines the background knowledge providing the 5 most
relevant references (papers or books).
Significance: explains the relevance of the general topic and of the
specific contribution.
Research design and methods: describes and motivates the method adopted
focusing on: assumptions, solutions, data sources, validation of
results, limitations of the approach.
Research stage: describes what the student has done so far.
- SIMPDA PhD award -
A doctoral award will be given by the SIMPDA PhD Jury to the best
research plan submitted.

- Compliance of Business Processes with Reference Models -
Reference models provide best practices to design effective and
efficient business processes. However, a main challenge is to evaluate
how these best practices are implemented. One limitation of existing
approaches is the assumption that compliance can be determined using the
notion of process equivalence. Nonetheless, the use of equivalence
algorithms is not suitable since two models can have different
structures but one process can still be compliant with the other. This
talk presents an approach to measure the compliance of process models
with reference models, which was used by a German passenger airline
using IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) reference models. The talk also
covers various initiatives to evaluate the quality and understandability
of process models.

# Historical Information on Previous Editions #
SIMPDA was proposed in 2011 and 2012 by IFIP WG 2.6 and 2.12/12.4 as the
International Symposium on Data-Driven Process Discovery and Analysis.
The symposium had around 30 attendees in 2011 and 20 in 2012. It
featured a number of keynotes illustrating new approaches, shorter
presentations on recent research, and a competitive PhD seminar,
together with selected research and industrial demonstrations. The
authors of the accepted papers have been invited to submit extended
articles to a post-symposium proceedings volume published in the
Springer LNBIP series.
Several events and activities arose off these simposia, among the most
notables we have two Dagstuhl seminars:
- Dagstuhl Seminar on Semantic Challenges in Sensor Networks, January
24-29, 2010.
- Dagstuhl Seminar on Unleashing Operational Process Mining, November
24-29, 2010.
The venue was for both editions Campione d'Italia, the Italian enclave
surrounded by Swiss territory, on the shores of Lake Lugano.
