Transformative BPMDS
This year‘s topic theme “Transformative BPMDS” is investigating
the
transformative effects of emerging influential approaches and
technologies in
conjunction with Business Process Modeling, Design and
Support:
• Artificial Intelligence fosters the automation of business
processes.
• Decentralized architectures and trust mechanisms such as
blockchains
enable the extension of business processes to quickly integrate
new process
partners.
• Voice assistants (e. g. Alexa, Siri) and augmented reality
significantly
increase the quality and the types of interactions with users in
business
processes.
• Internet of Things integrates increasingly intelligent devices
into
business processes.
• Social Information Systems support paradigms such as weak ties,
social
production, and egalitarian decisions.
• Cloud-services and mobile technologies enable the pervasiveness
of
business processes and independence from a geographic location.
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.
Submissions
You 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) Completed 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,
pure research purpose does not fall in the category "Experience
report".
3) Idea papers related to the focus theme “Transformative BPMDS”
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. Submissions should follow the
guidelines in
http://www.bpmds.org/guidelines and adhere to the formatting
instructions at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. Please submit your
paper in PDF
format through the conference management system at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds19. The work must be
unpublished
and must not be under review elsewhere. Accepted submissions will
be presented
during the working conference, and full papers will be published
in a Springer
LNBIP proceedings volume. Accepted short papers will be published
in a CEUR
online proceedings volume. After the
BPMDS’19 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). Note that the topic theme “Transformative
BPMDS” 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.

About BPMDS
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
nineteen
events from 1998 to 2018. 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. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can
be found
