The international series of workshops on Business Process Modeling,
Development and Support (BPMDS: http://processplatsen.ibissoft.se/node/51)
has been around since 1998. From 2011 it becomes a (two days)
working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering). While changing the status of
BPMDS, we preserve 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 its own theme
4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special
issue of an international journal
In line with the first principle, we continue to solicit submissions
of both research papers and experience reports that concern business
process modeling and development, and business process support
(development of software dedicated to business processes).
In line with the second principle, we solicit the papers (both
research papers and experience reports) that contain results worth
of discussion. For research papers, it means that reported research
should be in an advance stage and a paper includes results that
might be of interest for others. The experience reports should
continue to follow the already existing guidelines (http://processplatsen.ibissoft.se/node/72).
We add a new category of papers called visionary papers
to facilitate discussions on a chosen for this year theme.
In line with the third principle, each event will continue to have
its special theme. However, only visionary papers are
required to be tightly connected to the theme. We no longer require
for research papers and experience reports to be directly connected
to the special theme (they still need to be explicitly relevant to
business process modeling, development and support though). We only
suggest to the authors of research papers and experience reports,
wherever possible, to make connection to the special theme. The
theme chosen for BPMDS'11 is
Making BPM theory work in practice: "There is nothing more practical
then a good theory (Kurt Levin)"
We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit
this topic in relation to BPMDS. 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.
In line with the fourth principle, we will continue the tradition of
publishing special issues that includes extended versions of the
papers presented at each event. In addition, we will continue the
tradition of publishing all papers accepted for the conference in
LNBIP (Springer) proceedings jointly with EMMSAD.
A separate CFP for the new BPMDS’11 conference will be coming soon.
Stay tuned !
