18th International Business Process Management Conference (BPM
2020)
Sevilla (Spain), September 13-18, 2020

== CALL FOR PAPERS ==
The International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM)
is the premium forum for researchers and practitioners in the
field of BPM. The conference embraces the interdisciplinary nature
of BPM to its fullest extent. To this end, the conference
explicitly seeks to bring together the finest research
contributions and viewpoints from the fields of computer science,
information systems engineering, and information system
management, insofar as they enhance or refine the existing
portfolio of theories, methods and tools for managing and
improving business processes.
To accommodate for this diversity, the BPM conference is
structured into three tracks: Foundations, Engineering, and
Management. Each track covers different phenomena of interest and
different research methods and, accordingly, each track has
different evaluation criteria, a separate track chair and a
dedicated program committee.
Track I: Foundations (Chair: Dirk Fahland)
Track I invites papers that follow computer science research
methods. This includes papers that investigate the underlying
principles of BPM systems, computational theories, algorithms,
semantics, and methods for modeling and analyzing business
processes. This track also covers papers on novel languages,
architectures, and other concepts underlying process aware
information systems, as well as papers that use conceptual
modeling techniques to investigate problems in the design and
analysis of BPM systems.
Track II: Engineering (Chair: Chiara Ghidini)
Track II invites papers that focus on engineering aspects of
information systems research. The focus is on the investigation of
artifacts and systems in business environments. All papers in this
track must include strong empirical evaluations that are rigorous
and repeatable and that critically test criteria like usefulness
or added value of the proposed artifact (for example by showing
considerable performance improvements compared to past work). This
track covers business process intelligence, including process
mining techniques, and the use of process models for enactment,
model-driven engineering, as well as interaction with services and
deployment architectures like the Cloud. It also covers BPM
systems in particular domains, such as digital health, smart
mobility, or Internet of Things.
Track III: Management (Chair: Jörg Becker)
Track III invites papers that aim to advance our understanding of
how BPM can deliver business value or competitive advantage, for
instance by developing capabilities to improve, innovate, or
transform organizations or to tackle the challenges and
opportunities of digitalization. Papers that study process
thinking, organizational routines, process innovation, and the
application and impact of BPM methods and tools in use contexts
based on empirical observation are highly welcome, too. Areas of
interest include a wide range of capability areas that are
relevant for BPM, such as strategic alignment, governance,
methods, information technology, and human aspects including
people and culture.
== SUBMISSIONS ==
Each paper must be submitted to exactly one track. Papers must be
formatted according to Springer’s LNCS formatting guidelines.
Submissions must be in English and must not exceed 16 pages. The
title page must contain a short abstract clarifying the relation
of the paper with the topics above. The paper must clearly state
the problem being addressed, the goal of the work, the results
achieved, and the relation to other work. Student papers are
treated as regular papers in the review process. Importantly, the
contribution underlying a student paper must be carried out
mainly by the (PhD) student(s), but others (advisors,
collaborators, etc.) can appear as authors as well. When
submitting the paper, student papers must be clearly marked as
such in the EasyChair system. To be eligible for the best student
paper award, student papers have to be presented at the conference
by a student author.
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2020
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpm2020>.
Submissions must be original contributions that have neither been
published previously nor submitted to other conferences or
journals while being submitted to BPM 2020. Accepted papers will
be included in the conference proceedings published by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
Innovative papers which have high potential of stimulating
discussion at the conference but does not fully meet the quality
criteria for the main conference will be invited for presentation
at the BPM Forum. Those papers will be published in full length in
a separate post-proceedings volume in the Lecture Notes in
Business Information Processing series.
First-time submitters to BPM may request to be considered for a
pre-submission shepherding program in which a selected BPM PC
member advises on the presentation and positioning of a shepherded
paper.
== KEY DATES ==
* Full paper submission (strict deadline): 16 March 2020
* Notification: 11 May 2020
* Camera-ready paper submission: 8 June 2020
* Conference: 15-17 September 2020
There is no separate deadline for abstract submission.
Deadlines correspond to anywhere on earth (AoE).
