CALL FOR PAPERS
Track "Business Process Management"
_http://www.ecis2011.fi/ _ at the
19th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2011) Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-11, 2011 _http://www.ecis2011.fi _ Business Process Management (BPM) can be defined as the set of concepts, methods and tools dedicated to the definition, implementation, improvement and structuring of processes in organizations. It emerged as a combination of mature organizational concepts (BPR, Six Sigma, TQM) and process- supporting technologies such as workflow management, BPM systems and service-enabled solutions. The use of business process automation promises significant efficiency gains for organizations through the coordination of activities, process participants and the integration of applications. The high demand for BPM is grounded in the ongoing pressure to improve operational efficiencies, opportunities related to process outsourcing/off-shoring and the interest in process standards such as ITIL and SCOR. Not surprisingly, global analysts such as the Gartner Group have identified Business Process Management as the number one priority of CIOs for the last seven years.
While a large body of knowledge related to modeling, simulating and executing business processes exists, BPM has hardly been subjected to 'classic' Information Systems questions. Such questions go beyond the design of BPM systems and surround the adoption, use, and implications of BPM approaches and technologies in organization. The proposed BPM track will encourage the wider adoption of Information Systems research in the increasingly popular and important domain of BPM. In alignment with the overall topic of the conference, the proposed track will focus topics such as
- Success factors and measures of BPM - BPM adoption models - BPM governance - Business process innovation - Business process outsourcing - Process-aware Information Systems - Inter-organizational BPM - Process performance measurement - BPM in different industries - Process reference models
The proposed track will explicitly encourage research using a wide variety of papers covering quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research methodologies such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments and Design Science.
Types of Contributions
The proposed track on Business Process Management intends to attract the full spectrum of submissions types including: · Full research papers that represent a mature IS-view on Business Process Management · Research-in-progress papers that explore emerging areas of BPM-related research · Teaching cases that together with teaching notes will be beneficial for the large growing number of IS courses that cover BPM topics.
Important dates
December 1, 2010 Submission deadline January 31, 2011 Reviews due March 1, 2011 Notification of acceptance April 5, 2011 Final paper due June 9-11, 2011 ECIS 2011 conference
