Dear colleagues,
We are very happy to invite you to contribute and participate in the /First International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing in Business Process Management/ (/uBPM/). Please, find all the details of the workshop below.
May I ask you to forward the CfP to who may be interested?
Thank you very much!
Looking forward to your participation!
Best regards,

*First International Workshop on Ubiquitous Computing in Business Process Management (uBPM)***
*July 18-21, Toulouse, France*
Co-located with UIC 2016**
http://www.pros.upv.es/ubpm2016
Business Process Management (BPM) is the body of methods, techniques and tools to manage the business processes of an organization (i.e., the chains of events, activities, and decisions performed in a coordinated manner) in order to achieve its strategic goals. Although the use of Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp) technology has already revolutionized many areas, its application in BPM is still in its infancy. Ubicomp enables computing to appear anytime and everywhere, becoming ‘invisibly’ embedded in physical objects to sense and respond to their surrounding environment. This embedding allows building a bridge between the digital and the physical worlds, which could benefit the BPM field in many ways, e.g.: a) by automating tasks or making them adaptive to each situation; b) by enabling fitness between business processes (BPs) and their execution environment, maintaining the suitability of a process instance through its execution life, c) by providing managers and consumers with up-to-date context information that allows better use of resources, leveraging better and faster decisions; etc.
The integration of Ubicomp in BPM is however challenging since it implies the coordination of multiple technologies (sensors, internet, mobiles, electrical appliances, etc.) and different disciplines (Human-computer interaction, context-aware computing, distributed computing, etc.). Therefore, more research and industrial cases are needed to bring BPM to a new whole level, and to make the community understand the benefits and challenges that Ubicomp can bring to BPM and vice versa.
The overall goal of the workshop is to look at Ubicomp issues in the BPM field and to discuss the current state of ongoing research, industry needs, future trends, and practical experiences. Practitioners and researchers interested in making ubiquitous business processes a reality are specially welcomed.
The workshop will be a one-day, presentation-oriented workshop of both research and industrial papers, and it will start with a keynote and close with a discussions session.
*WORKSHOP TOPICS:*
The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
*Ubicomp in the BPM Life-cycle:*
·Design/Modelling/Implementation/Deployment/Execution/Monitoring/Optimization of uBPs
*Business Process Context:***
·Which context data are relevant for BPM?
·Should context data be specific for each BPM application domain? Or can it be generalized?
·Potential of context awareness and adaptation in BPM. How context can be used to improve BPM?
·Techniques for analysing context data in BPM
·Modelling of context-adaptive BPs
·Execution and simulation of context-adaptive BPs
·Monitoring context-adaptive BPs
·Verification of context-adaptive BPs
·Mining context-adaptive BPs
·Optimizing BPs using context information
·Integration of context data for being consumed by BPMSs
·Privacy issues of context-awareness in BPMS
*Business Process Automation and Industrial Cases:***
·How can Ubicomp be used to automate activities in BPs?
·How can Ubicomp be used for achieving self-* BPMS?
·In which industrial domains Ubicomp can provide a bigger competitive advantage for BPMS?
·Industrial examples of Ubicomp technologies applied to BPs.
·Ubiquitous BPs for Smart Cities
