CFP: 1st Intl. Workshop on Theory and
Applications of Process Visualization (TAProViz'12)
Visualizations
can make the structure and dependencies between elements
in processes accessible in order to support users who need
to analyze process models and their instances. However, effectively visualizing processes
in a user-friendly way is often a big challenge,
especially for complex process models which can consist of
hundreds of process components (e.g., process activities,
data flows, and resources) and thousands of running
process instances in different execution states.
Many challenges remain to be
addressed within the broad area of process visualization
such as: scalability, human-computer interaction,
cognitive aspects, applicability of different approaches,
collaboration, process evolution, run-time requirements of
process instances and applications, etc.
Topics
of interest include (but are not limited to):
Visual
Metaphors in Processes
Visual
Design and Aesthetics for Processes
Visualization
of Dynamic Data in Processes
Change
Visualization for Processes
Interface
and Interaction Techniques for Process Visualization
Visualization
Techniques for Collaboration and Distributed Processes
Visualization

Cognition
and Perception in Process Visualization

Format
of the Workshop
The
1Ž2 day workshop will comprise accepted papers and tool
presentations. Papers should be submitted in advance and
will be reviewed by at least three members of the program
committee. All accepted papers will appear in the workshop
proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in
Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. There will
be a single LNBIP volume dedicated to the proceedings of
all BPM workshops. As this volume will appear after the
conference, there will be informal proceedings during the
workshop. At least one author for each accepted paper
should register for the workshop and present the paper.
Important
Dates
Deadline

Paper
Submission
Prospective
authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in
any of the areas listed above.
Three
types of submissions are possible:
full
papers (12 pages long) reporting mature research results
position
papers reporting research that may be in preliminary stage
that has not yet been evaluated
tool
reports
Position
papers and tool reports should be no longer than 6 pages.
Only
papers in English will be accepted and must present
original research contributions not concurrently submitted
elsewhere. Papers should be submitted in the LNBIP
(www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0)
format. The title page must contain a short abstract, a
classification of the topics covered, preferably using the
list of topics above, and an indication of the submission
category (regular paper/position paper/tool report).
All
accepted workshop papers will be published by Springer as
a post-workshop proceedings volume in the series Lecture
Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP). Hard
copies of these proceedings will be shipped to all
registered participants approximately four months after
the workshops, while preliminary proceedings will be
distributed during the workshop.
Submitted
papers will be evaluated, in a double blind manner, on the
basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and
exposition. Papers should clearly establish their research
contribution and the relation to the theory and
application of process visualization.
Registration
Accepted
papers imply that at least one of the authors will
register for the BPM2012 (http://bpm2012.ut.ee/cfp/) and
present the paper at the TAProViz workshop.
