-------- Original-Nachricht --------
Dear friends,
Due to many requests, the submission deadline of BPMDS for full
papers has been extended to February 28. Abstract submission is
required by February 22.
BPMDS is
a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE
(Conference on Advanced Information Systems
Engineering).
The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on
business processes and their IT support. One of the
major aims is to discuss and to learn about concepts and
techniques to enhance the ability to analyze, design,
and execute business processes, supported by information
systems.
Important dates:
Abstract submission: February 22, 2013
Full paper submission: February 28, 2013
Notification of acceptance: March 24th, 2013
Camera-ready papers due: April 8th, 2013
The papers should be submitted through the conference
management system available at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2013
More
information can be found in the CFP below.
Best
regards,
Pnina Soffer
On behalf of BPMDS'2013 Organising Committee

ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series (http://www.pros.upv.es/index.php/en/home-caise2013).

ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE:
--------------------------
The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on business
processes and their IT support. This is one of the keystones of
information systems theory, and a topic that any major
conference in the area of information systems needs to address,
independently of the current fashion. The continued interest in
this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the
success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a
workshop to a working conference.
The BPMDS series has produced thirteen events from 1998 to 2012.
From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference
attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems
Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series:
1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and
practitioners in the areas of business development, and business
applications (software) development
2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than
presentations.
3. Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers.
4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special
issue of an international journal.
The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web
site: http://www.bpmds.org/history
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
-------------------
BPMDS solicits papers related to Business Process Modeling,
Development and Support (BPMDS) in general, using quality as a
main selection criterion. As a working conference, we would like
to attract papers describing mature research, but we still give
place to industrial reports and visionary idea papers. To
encourage new and emerging challenges and research directions in
the area of business process modeling, development and support,
we have a unique focus theme every year.
Papers submitted as idea papers will be required to be of
relevance to the focus theme, thus providing a mass of new ideas
around a relatively narrow but emerging research area.
Full research papers and experience reports are not required to
be directly connected to this theme (they still need to be
explicitly relevant to BPMDS though).
The focus theme for BPMDS'13 idea papers is "Coping with
Complexity in Business Processes".
Today, business processes have to cope with increasing
complexity in several areas. First, business processes are
increasingly becoming cross and inter organizational. External
processes and services have to be integrated into processes.
Second, data is becoming more and more important for business
processes. Recent advances such as data science and big data
provide huge amounts of information to be processed in business
processes. Third, business processes are executed in complex
environments, which may consist of cloud-services and resources
and may introduce flexibility requirements.
We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to
exploit this theme and submit idea papers that deal with
specific complexity aspects of business processes, such as data
orientation as in MDM (master data management) and relation to
big data, need for context-awareness and flexibility, and
integration of business processes with social media.
We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how
theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as well
as experience reports on using theories in practice.
TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:
----------------------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Business Process Modeling
- Business process modeling languages, notations and methods
- Multi-perspectives on business process modeling,
- Coherence among multi-perspective representations
- Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling business
processes
- Verification and validation of business process models
- Variability and adaptability of business process models
- Dynamic configuration; modeling by reuse
- Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware
components; modeling for reuse
- Domain specific reference models
- Business process modeling enhanced by social software and
social networks
Business Process Support
- Business process change management and governance issues
- Theoretical foundations for simulating or executing business
processes
- Business process support architectures and platforms
- Business process support based on a service-oriented
architecture
- Business process support combined with social software and
social networks

SUBMISSIONS:
-----------
Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a
paper that concerns business process modeling and development,
and/or business process support (development of software
dedicated to business processes). We solicit the papers (both
research papers and experience reports) that contain results
worth of discussion. For full research papers, it means that
reported research should be in an advance stage and a paper
includes results and at least partial evaluation.
Thus three kinds of submissions are possible:
(1) Full research papers.
(2) Experience reports, which should follow guidelines in http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines.
(3) Idea papers related to the focus theme, devoted to
completely new research positions or approaches, in order to
face to a generic situation that arises because of, for
instance, new methods and tools or new types of emerging
challenges; the compliance to the focus theme is mandatory for
idea papers, which should describe precisely the situation and
demonstrate the shortcomings of current methods, tools, ways of
reasoning, meta-models, etc.
Papers of all submission types should be of up to 15 pages.
Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
for all of them.
Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results
described must be unpublished and must not be under review
elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the conference
management system available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2013
PUBLICATIONS:
------------
The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP
volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise, Business-Process and
Information Systems Modeling”, as the four previous years (LNBIP
29, LNBIP 50, LNBIP 81, LNBIP 113).
After the BPMDS’13 conference, extended versions of the accepted
papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of
an international journal.
