Dear colleagues,
Please consider submitting to
The 21st International Working Conference on Business Process
Modeling, Development, and Support (BPMDS'2020)
held in conjunction to CAiSE’2020
8-9 June 2020, Grenoble, France
Submission deadline: March 7th, 2020
http://www.bpmds.org
****************************************************************************************************************
---------
SPONSORS:
---------
- Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE).
BPMDS is linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference
series).
- International Federation for Information Processing Working
Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1).
The *Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS)*
working conference has been held for two decades, dealing with and
promoting research on BPMDS, and has been a platform for a
multitude of influential research papers. In keeping with its
tradition, the working conference covers a broad range of
theoretical and application-based research on BPMDS.
This year’s topic theme “BPM meets data” follows the emergence of
data science as a prominent area, and is thus investigating
various aspects of the relations between processes and data, and
the supporting IT systems and their engineering lifecycle. These
relations can be viewed along the business process life-cycle:
- Designing and modeling data-aware processes
- Integrating and incorporating different kinds and sources of
data in process execution environments (IOT, blockchain, network
traffic)
- Monitoring, assessing performance and conformance, and
predicting the outcomes of running processes using the data they
generate
- Creating process models from various sources of data through
process discovery
-----------------
SUBMISSION TOPICS :
-----------------
*The topics of papers* to be submitted include, but are not
limited to the following:
BPM MEETS DATA
The topic theme is mandatory for Idea Paper submissions, all other
submissions are free to address any topic related to the fields of
Business Process Modeling, Development and Support, among which
are:
MODELS AND NOTATIONS
* Standard and non-standard perspectives on business processes
especially concerning data incorporation and analysis
* Meta-model and notation extensions
* New modeling languages and notations
* Domain-specific modeling languages
* Reference models
METHODS
* Theoretical foundations for analysis and modeling of business
processes
* Variability and adaptability of business process models
* Methods for the process of process modeling and its
optimizations
* Social information systems and their applications
* Process mining
* Business Process Development
* Business process change management and governance issues
* Enhancing creativity in business processes
BUSINESS PROCESS DEVELOPMENT
* New paradigms and architectures for Business Process executions,
such as object-aware, data-intensive
* Location and context-dependence of business processes.
* Cross-organizational processes
* Data-intensive business processes
BUSINESS PROCESS SUPPORT
* Theoretical foundations for simulating or executing business
processes
* Context-aware work allocation in business processes
* Actor support vs. control support in business processes
* New platforms such as blockchains and smart contracts

SUBMISSIONS:
----------- --
Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper
that concerns the topics mentioned above and all other topics
related to business process modeling, development and support.
Three categories of submissions are welcome:
(1) Full research papers (technical papers or empirical evaluation
papers) should report results in an advanced stage, including at
least partial evaluation.
(2) Experience reports present work completed or being completed
in the context of a real-life organization. The work should have
some practical goal, and should essentially present lessons learnt
that can be applicable in a generalized context.
(3) Idea papers related to the focus theme “BPM meets data”;
should address completely new research positions or approaches,
demonstrating the shortcomings of current methods, tools,
meta-models, etc.
Full papers with up to 15 pages long or short papers with up to 8
pages can be submitted to these categories. The work must be
unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere.
Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. Submissions should
use the Springer LNBIP/LNCS formatting templates. Submissions
should follow the guidelines in
http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines and adhere to the formatting
instructions at
https://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/authors.html.
Please submit your paper in PDF format through the conference
management system at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2020.
Note that the topic theme “BPM meets data” is suggested to make
this year’s edition of BPMDS a special forum for this theme,
however, it is mandatory for “idea paper” submissions only.
------------
PUBLICATIONS:
------------
Accepted submissions will be presented during the working
conference, and full papers will be published in a Springer LNBIP
proceedings volume (joint with EMMSAD), "Enterprise,
Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling”, as the eleven
previous years (LNBIP volumes 29, 50, 81, 113, 147, 175, 214, 248,
287, 318, 352). Accepted short papers will be published in an
online proceedings volume.
After the BPMDS’20 conference, selected papers can be published as
extended versions in a special issue of the International Journal
on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM,
www.sosym.org).
The previous special issues are: BPMDS’19 in SoSyM launched,
BPMDS’18 in SoSyM in progress, BPMDS’17 in SoSyM, papers on line,

----------------------
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
----------------------
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 beyond short-lived fashions. 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 twenty-one events from 1998 to 2020. 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 are:
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.
