Dear colleagues (with
apologies for cross-posting),
you are invited to submit
papers for the 5th International Workshop on Event-Driven
Business Process Management to be held alongside the Busines
Process Management Conference on August 29th 2011 in
Clermont-Ferrand, France
«Event-Driven Business
Process Management» (EDBPM) is an enhancement of Business
Process Management (BPM) by new concepts of Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA), Event Driven Architecture (EDA), Software
as a Service (SaaS), Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) and
Complex Event Processing (CEP). In this context, BPM means a
software platform which provides companies the ability to
model, manage, and optimize these processes for significant
gain. As an independent system, CEP is a parallel running
platform that analyses and processes events. The BPM- and the
CEP-platform correspond via events which are produced by the
BPM-workflow engine and by the – if distributed –- IT services
which are associated with the business process steps. Also
events coming from different event sources in different forms
can trigger a business process or influence the execution of
the process or a service, which can result in another event.
Even more, the correlation of these events in a particular
context can be treated as a complex, business level event,
relevant for the execution of other business processes or
services closing the loop of insight-to-action. A business
process – arbitrarily fine or coarse grained – can be seen as
a service again and can be “choreographed” with other business
processes or services, even between different enterprises and
organisations.
Loosely coupled
event-driven architecture for BPM provides important benefits:
• Responsiveness. Events
can occur at any time from any source and processes respond to
them immediately, whenever they happen and wherever they
happen.
• Agility. New processes
can be modeled, implemented, deployed, and optimized more
quickly in response to changing business requirements.
• Flexibility. Processes
can span heterogeneous platforms and programming languages.
Participating applications can be upgraded or changed without
breaking the process model.
TOPICS
Authors are invited to
submit novel contributions in the above mentioned problem
domain. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are not
limited to:
• Event-driven BPM:
Concepts
e.g. role of event
processing in BPM, business events: types and representation,
vent stream processing in business processes, process event
processing in CEP, data- and event-driven business processes,
event and process interaction patterns
• Design-time CEP and BPM
e.g. modelling modelling
events in human-oriented tasks, semantics/ontologies for
event-driven BPM, BPMN and event processing, interaction
modelling of process model and event processing network.
• Run-time CEP and BPM
e.g. event pattern
detection, BPEL and event processing, reasoning about unknown/
similar events
• Applications/ Use use
cases for event-driven BPM
e.g. event-driven
monitoring/ BAM , event-driven SLA monitoring, context-aware
BPM
The Workshop is planned as
a full-day event, including a keynote, paper presentations,
lightning talks, demos, posters, and a moderated, open
discussion with the clear goal of agreeing upon a research
roadmap for event-driven Business Process Management research,
by taking into account new challenges, described earlier.
SUBMISSION
The following types of
submission are solicited:
• Long paper submissions,
describing substantial contributions of novel ongoing work.
Long papers should be at most 12 pages long.
• Short paper submissions,
describing work in progress. These papers should be at most 6
pages long.
• Use case submissions,
describing results from an edBPM use case. These papers should
be at most 4 pages long.
Papers should be submitted
in the new LNBIP format
(http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0).
Papers have to present original research contributions not
concurrently submitted elsewhere. 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 (Long Paper/ Short Paper / Use
case).
Papers can be uploaded via
the workshop page on easychair, the address can be found on
the workshop homepage.
Papers will be published
in the postconference proceeding (Springer Verlag)
